In search of morphogenes |
|
| Authors: | J M Robert |
| Abstract: | May we talk about morphogenes as it is actually done about oncogenes? The author reviews some recent experimental discoveries which launch embryology on a new way: rethinking mitosis, studying cell movement and adhesion, neuronal migration, the role of gap-junctions, cell-death programmation. Embryology and genetics are today converging on identic aims, particularly in the fields of the homeotic genes and of transgenic animals. |
