Abstract excerpt

In Xenopus, the activation of the myogenic determination factors MyoD and Myf-5 in the muscle-forming region of the embryo occurs in response to mesoderm-inducing factors (MIFs). Different members of the FGF, TGF-beta, and Wnt protein families have been implicated in this process, but how MIFs in...
