Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A new 'two-step model' has been advocated for the induction of the cranial placode along with the neural crest formation. According to the model, our explanation on the result of the neural plate explant culture should be corrected in part: FGF2 signal possibly has an antagonistic effect on BMP4 signal in our culture system; the induced squamous epithelium has characteristics of an immature composite of the neural border/pre-placodal ectoderm/non-neural ectoderm.
