Abstract excerpt

This study analyzes the hierarchy of signals that spatially restrict expression of Xenopus Xwnt-8 to mesodermal cells outside of the Spemann organizer field and examines the potential role that endogenous Xwnt-8 may play in dorsoventral patterning of the embryonic mesoderm. The effects of ectopic...
