## Abstract Other investigations have demonstrated that pressure, exerted by fluid contained within the lumen of the closed neural tube, plays an important role in the morphogenesis of cranial regions of chick embryos. In this study, we investigated whether this pressure is involved also in the for

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Homocysteine is a nonessential aminoacid whose increase is related to the appearance of neural tube defects in humans. In chick embryos, high levels of homocysteine produce neural tube defects and alteration of neural crest cell migration. ## METHODS In our study, 8 ΞΌl
Initiation of the primitive streak in avian embryos provides a well-studied example of a pattern-forming event that displays a striking capacity for regulation. The mechanisms underlying the regulative properties are, however, poorly understood and are not easily accounted for by traditional models
