Retinoid signalling in Xenopus neural development

This thesis focuses on the use of animal caps to address questions concerning neural induction, patterning and neurogenesis in Xenopus embryos. Animal caps can be neuralised by the inhibition of BMPs through the action of inhibitors, such as noggin, but they do not form neurons. Instead, primary neu...
