Research Abstract

To analyze direct effects of fibroblast growth factor and hedgehog signalings in the tail regeneration notochord cells were isolated from Xenopus tadpole. Isolated immature cells proliferated and terminally differentiated into vacuole-containing cells in a culture condition. The vacuolation was inhibited by FGFs or by hedgehog inhibitor. Genes associated with the notochord maturation were identified after a gene expression screening.
