Abstract excerpt
Subdivision of the limb primordia into compartments initiates pattern formation in the developing limbs. Interaction between distinctly specific cells in adjacent compartments leads to localized expression of the secreted signalling molecules Wingless (Wg) or Decapentaplegic (Dpp), which in turn organize pattern and control growth of the limbs. The homeobox gene engrailed has been implicated in specification of...
