This researcch project will use fluorescent tagging techniques to follow the fates of cells in the anterior neural plate and ridge of Xenopus laevis. In a previous study, the investigators found that the dyes Hoechst and DiI could successfully be used as autonomous markers for small groups of cells in the neural plate. With these dyes they were able to construct a detailed fate map of the neural plate. Three aspects of this fate map will receive detailed attention in the planned research: 1) The cellular movements associated with the most anterior plate and ridge will be charted; 2) The ancestry of the anterior pituitary will be clarified; and 3) The regulatory capacities of the anterior neural plate and ridge will receive detailed examination.

该研究项目将使用荧光标记技术来追踪非洲爪蟾前神经板和脊中细胞的命运。 在之前的一项研究中，研究人员发现染料 Hoechst 和 DiI 可以成功地用作神经板中小群细胞的自主标记。 利用这些染料，他们能够构建神经板的详细命运图。 在计划的研究中，这张命运图的三个方面将受到详细关注：1）与最前面的板和脊相关的细胞运动将被绘制出来； 2）垂体前叶的起源将被阐明； 3）详细检查前神经板和神经脊的调节能力。
