Developmental Mechanism of Limb Field Specification along the Anterior–Posterior Axis during Vertebrate Evolution

In gnathostomes, limb buds arise from the lateral plate mesoderm at discrete positions along the body axis. Specification of these limb-forming fields can be subdivided into several steps. The lateral plate mesoderm is regionalized into the anterior lateral plate mesoderm (ALPM; cardiac mesoderm) an...
