Dorsal dermis development depends on a signal from the dorsal neural tube, which can be substituted by Wnt-1.

abstract：:We have made a null mutation in the mouse activin beta B gene by deleting the portion of the gene encoding the proteolytic cleavage site and the majority of the coding region for the mature processed protein. Mice homozygous for this mutation complete embryogenesis and are completely viable. Approximately 40% of the h...
