The role of the nasal pit and Fibroblast Growth Factor signaling in avian craniofacial development
We characterized the role of FGFs (Fibroblast growth factors) during upper lip fusion in the chicken embryo model. We first undertook an expression study of members of the Sprouty family, intracellular inhibitors of FGF signaling, in the upper face to assess where active FGF signaling is occurring....
