Abstract excerpt
Forelimbs (FLs) and hindlimbs (HLs) develop under the instructive and integrated guidance of signaling centers and transcription factor (TF) action. The development of structures specific to each limb type depends on the limb-specific modulation of these integrated components. Pitx1 is a transcription factor gene expressed in HL, absent in FL, and required for HL-specific patterning and development, in particular...
