Embryonic induction and muscle gene activation.

Gurdon JB , Mohun TJ , Sharpe CR , Taylor MV .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Embryonic induction, a process in which the differentiation of a cell is determined by its proximity to other kinds of cells, is of major importance in animal development. We review here what is known of the steps by which a muscle-specific actin gene is first activated by embryonic induction in early amphibian embryos.
