Uncoupling the role of sonic hedgehog in limb development: growth and specification.




Uncoupling the role of sonic hedgehog in limb development: growth and specification.

Sci Signal. 2008;1(26):pe34

Authors: Francis-West P, Hill R

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling is essential for the anterior-posterior (A-P) patterning of the embryonic limb bud. An additional role for Shh has now been identified in the mouse and chick, in which Shh promotes the proliferation of limb mesenchymal cells, which increases the number of digits that form. Surprisingly, these data are not consistent with any of the previous models in the mouse that described roles for Shh and the zone of polarizing activity in the patterning of the A-P axis. Therefore, new light is shed on the mechanisms of Shh action, which both challenges our understanding of limb development and gives insights into the evolutionary changes that result in digit reductions.

Longitudinal coherence in thermal ghost imaging

We show theoretically and experimentally that lensless ghost imaging with thermal light is fully interpretable in terms of classical statistical optics. The disappearance of the ghost image when the object and the reference planes are located at different distances from the source is due to the fadi ... [Appl. Phys.

We studied the propagation of an electromagnetic (EM) wave in a defective multilayer microcavity with an artificial magnetic atom located at the edge of the defect layer. When the frequency of the defect state is tuned to the resonance frequency of the magnetic atom, strong coupling happens between ...
