Intercellular Signaling Pathways in the Initiation of Mammalian Forebrain Development

The Spemann organizer in amphibians gives rise to the anterior mesendoderm (AME) and is capable of inducing neural tissues. This inductive activity is thought to occur largely via the antagonism of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in the organizer. In the mouse, BMP antagonists Chordin and...
