Patterning of the dorsal-ventral axis in echinoderms: insights into the evolution of the BMP-chordin signaling network.
Formation of the dorsal-ventral axis of the sea urchin embryo relies on cell interactions initiated by the TGFbeta Nodal. Intriguingly, although nodal expression is restricted to the ventral side of the embryo, Nodal function is required for specification of both the ventral and the dorsal territori...
