Divergent transcriptional activities determine limb identity
Limbs develop using a common genetic programme despite widely differing morphologies. This programme is modulated by limb-restricted regulators such as hindlimb (HL) transcription factors Pitx1 and Tbx4 and the forelimb (FL) Tbx5. Both Tbx factors have been implicated in limb patterning and growth, but their relative activities and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this paper, we show th...
متن کاملThe limb identity gene Tbx5 promotes limb initiation by interacting with Wnt2b and Fgf10.
A major gap in our knowledge of development is how the growth and identity of tissues and organs are linked during embryogenesis. The vertebrate limb is one of the best models to study these processes. Combining mutant analyses with gain- and loss-of-function approaches in zebrafish and chick embryos, we show that Tbx5, in addition to its role governing forelimb identity, is both necessary and ...
متن کاملIsolation of potential vertebrate limb-identity genes.
Forelimbs and hindlimbs of tetrapods have different morphological patterns. One plausible explanation for the difference is that the cells that give rise to the limbs differentially express genes which control their pattern of development. Amphibian limb regeneration is an excellent system to test this hypothesis, since the same ultimate morphology is attained in regeneration as through embryog...

متن کاملUpper Limb Prosthetic Control
This report documents the progress during the past two semesters of the Masters programme. The research area explored is on Upper limb prosthetic control. It summarizes the literature review and work performed towards two potential research directions. First; A coordinated joint control for upper limb prosthetics is presented. This includes a background of the particular field and preliminary w...
