Molecular basis of neural fold adhesion and fusion in closure of the spinal neural tube

The molecular basis of neural fold adhesion and fusion in closure of the mouse spinal neural tube is a crucial process, since failure may result in spina bifida. Previous studies have shown that cleavage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPl)-anchored proteins causes neural tube defects in the mouse...
