Abstract excerpt
Wnt-3a mutant embryos show defects caudal to the forelimb level; somites are absent, the notochord is disrupted, and the central nervous system has a pronounced dysmorphology. Previous studies revealed that the primary defects of the mutant embryos are likely to be in the process of paraxial mesoderm formation. In this study, we analyzed the phenotype of Wnt-3a mutant embryos at early somite stages (8.0 days post...
