Article Synopsis
- Mammals have different types of teeth (heterodonty) with simpler teeth in the front and more complex ones in the back, and this study looks at the genes involved in their early development.
- Researchers analyzed gene expression patterns in the lower jaw of mice at two early development stages, finding significant differences in signaling molecules (like BMP and FGF) between the front and back regions of the jaw.
- The study highlights the role of the SATB2 gene in developing incisor teeth and its surprising expression near molars, indicating that gene functions can vary significantly depending on the jaw's location.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling appears essential for the regulation of limb development, but a full complexity of this regulation remains unclear. Here, we addressed the effect of three different chemical inhibitors of FGF receptor tyrosine kinases (FGFR) on growth and patterning of the chicken wings. The inhibitor PD173074 caused shorter and thinner wing when using lower concentration.
