The cellular and molecular study of dorsal neural tube ablation reported here demonstrates a critical role for midline closure in hindbrain repatterning. This was revealed by detailed analysis of the transcriptional response of two genes, Pax-3 and slug, during repair of the neural tube following ablation. The reexpression of Pax-3 appears to rely on a single surface ectoderm/neuroepithelial contact, while this is insufficient for reexpression of slug. In fact, slug up-regulation only occurred… CONTINUE READING
