Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) have been implicated in the control of cell proliferation, survival and migration. Patch mutant mice harbor a deletion including the PDGF alpha receptor gene and exhibit defects of neural crest origin which affect pigmentation in heterozygotes and cranial bones in homozygotes. To verify the role of the PDGF alphaR gene during development, mice carrying a targeted null...
