The handedness and origin of supernumerary limb structures following 180° rotation of the chick wing bud on its stump

چکیده
The pattern of differentiated wing structures formed following 180° rotation of the undifferentiated wing bud tip on its base was examined in detail. These analyses were performed to determine the handedness and origin of the supernumerary structures which arise. In contrast to the variable classes of symmetric and/or asymmetric limb anatomies observed following the same operation with amphibian regeneration blastemas, wings of predictable handedness were observed. Both the graft and stump contributed cells to the supernumerary structures. These results are discussed in the light of two current models describing the developing chick limb and analysed diagrammatically within the framework of one of these models, the polar coordinate model.

Cyclosporine Effects on Chick Limb Bud Mesenchyme and DNA Content
Background: Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a powerful immunosuppressive agent, which is used for the prevention of allograft rejection and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Many transplant recipients must take this medicine for the rest of their lives. Females in reproductive age group on prolonged CsA therapy have legitimate concerns about drug effects on pregnancy. Objective: To explore Cs...
متن کاملPreservation of the ability of dissociated quail wing bud mesoderm to elicit a position-related differentiative response.
Previous studies showed that grafting wedges of fresh or cultured anterior quail wing mesoderm into posterior slits in chick wing buds resulted in the formation of supernumerary cartilage in a high percentage of cases. When anterior quail mesoderm, which had been dissociated into single cells and pelleted by centrifugation, was grafted into posterior slits of host chick wing buds, supernumerary...

We investigated cellular contributions to intercalary regenerates and 180° supernumerary limbs during axolotl limb regeneration using the cell autonomous GFP marker and exchanged blastemas between white and GFP animals. After distal blastemas were grafted to proximal levels tissues of the intercalary regenerate behaved independently with regard to the law of distal transformation; graft epiderm...
متن کاملThe target tissue of limb-bud polarizing activity in the induction of supernumerary structures.
When polarizing mesoderm from the posterior border of the 4-day chick limb bud is placed adjacent to anterior limb mesoderm and ectodermal ridge, the anterior ridge thickens and mesodermal outgrowth ensues, resulting in supernumerary limb structures. This apposition of anterior and posterior limb tissues can be accomplished by cutting off the apical one third of the limb bud and reimplanting it...
متن کامل‘Regeneration’ of wing bud stumps of chick embryos and reactivation of Msx-1 and Shh expression in response to FGF-4 and ridge signals
We examined systematically the ability of chick limb bud stumps to regenerate distal structures when fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-4 is applied. When amputations were made within 600 mu m of the tip and FGF-4 applied either posteriorly or both apically and posteriorly, outgrowth of stump tissues occurred and a virtually complete skeleton developed. 'Regeneration' of distal structures was corre...
