Functions of FGF signalling from the apical ectodermal ridge in limb development

X Sun, FV Mariani, GR Martin - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
To determine the role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling from the apical ectodermal
ridge (AER), we inactivated Fgf4 and Fgf8 in AER cells or their precursors at different stages …

Genetic evidence that FGFs have an instructive role in limb proximal–distal patterning

FV Mariani, CP Ahn, GR Martin - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
Half a century ago, the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) at the distal tip of the tetrapod limb
bud was shown to produce signals necessary for development along the proximal–distal (P–D) …

Deciphering skeletal patterning: clues from the limb

FV Mariani, GR Martin - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Even young children can distinguish a Tyrannosaurus rex from a Brontosaurus by observing
differences in bone size, shape, number and arrangement, that is, skeletal pattern. But …
