Connexin26-mediated transfer of laterality cues in Xenopus

Connexin26-mediated transfer of laterality cues in Xenopus

Summary A cilia-driven leftward flow of extracellular fluid breaks bilateral symmetry in the dorsal midline of the neurula stage vertebrate embryo. The left-specific Nodal signaling cascade in the lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) is key to asymmetric morphogenesis and placement of organs during subseque...
