Abstract
The faithful positioning and growth of cells during embryonic development is essential. In this study Seifert et al. demonstrate that inactivation of Sonic Hedgehog during development of the genital tubercle results in a prolonged G1 phase and a slower rate of growth.This publication has 47 references indexed in Scilit:
