Abstract excerpt
Pattern control in Hydra has traditionally been assigned to the determining influence of morphogens and neuropeptides. However, at present, arachidonic acid and its derivative 12-S-HETE are the only identified, potential signal molecules known to promote head and bud formation. More potent factor...
