Resumen

La alteración del gen Hox-1.1 en ratones causó graves malformaciones craneofaciales y vertebrales, incluida una vértebra adicional. Esto sugiere que Hox-1.1 juega un papel crítico en el desarrollo embrionario temprano y el patrón.

Determination

During embryogenesis, cells become progressively committed to different fates through a two-step process: specification followed by determination. Specification is demonstrated by removing a segment of an early embryo, “neutrally” culturing the tissue in vitro—for example, in a petri dish with simple medium—and then observing the derivatives. If the cultured region gives rise to cell types that it would normally generate in the embryo, this means that it is specified. In...
