Fig. 8. The ability to inhibit neural markers by activated Smad2 attenuates during gastrulation. Treatment of Xenopus embryos expressing GR-Smad2 with DEX at different stages during gastrulation showed that activated GR-Smad2 lost its neural inhibitory activity by the end of gastrulation, at which stages it also failed to induce mesoderm in the neural plate. All the embryos were viewed from the dorsal side with the anterior to the left. Image published in: Chang C and Harland RM (2007) Copyright © 2007.
