Distinct steps of neural induction revealed by Asterix, Obelix and TrkC, genes induced by different signals from the organizer.
The amniote organizer (Hensen's node) can induce a complete nervous system when grafted into a peripheral region of a host embryo. Although BMP inhibition has been implicated in neural induction, non-neural cells cannot respond to BMP antagonists unless previously exposed to a node graft for at...
