Abstract excerpt
In chick skin, nerve fibers develop in a typical network formed by arcades around the base of feathers. In this study, we tried to dissociate the morphogenesis of nerve arcades and feathers, and to clarify the implication of several matricial molecules in these two developmental events. For this...
