17
Q

What does paraxial mesoderm specification require?

A

BMP anatagonists

18
Q

How fast are somites formed in chicks?

A

Every 90 minutes

19
Q

How are somites formed?

A

Budding off the pre-somitic mesoderm

20
Q

What must cells within the pre-somitic mesoderm respond to?

A

Positional information, left/right co-ordination, anterior/posterior boundary info, cleft formation

21
Q

How are boundaries created in somite formation?

A

Boundary cells instruct cells that are anterior to form a boundary - via notch expression

22
Q

What condition in humans is caused by absence of Notch signalling?

A

Jarcho Lewin syndrome - spondylocostal dysplasia (ossification centres do no align)
