Conservation of BMP Signaling in Ectoderm Patterning

This study explores the conserved mechanism of BMP signaling in patterning the ectoderm in various species, such as flies and mice. It examines the role of genes like dpp, sog, snail, and others in regulating neural and mesodermal development. The research sheds light on the subdivision and repression of neuronal and epidermal genes by BMP signaling.
