An interdigit signalling centre instructs coordinate phalanx-joint formation governed by 5′Hoxd–Gli3 antagonism
The molecular mechanisms governing digit joint specification are poorly understood. Here, the authors identify the 5′Hoxd–Gli3 balance as a key regulator of the net interdigital Bmp signalling level in mouse, which in turn regulates phalanx and joint formation.
