Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our skeletal pattern is derived from pattern of chondrocyte development. Therefore, studying first developmental step of chondrocyte should give us the most valuable information about positional information of skeletal pattern. In this study, we used chick hindlimb bud as a model system and performed how chondrocyte position is specified in the autopod. We succeeded to establish new quantification method to understand 3-dimentional structure of developing organ, especially limb bud in this study.
