Abstract excerpt
Foregut separation involves dynamic changes in the activities of signaling pathways and transcription factors. Recent mouse genetic studies demonstrate that some of these pathways interact with each other to form a complex network, leading to a unique dorsal-ventral patterning in the early foregut. In this review, it is discussed how this unique dorsal-ventral patterning is set prior to the foregut separation and...
