Abstract
A Notch signalling pathway is involved in the earliest stages of limb-bud patterning, according to research undertaken in mice with the syndactylism (sm) mutation. The results of this research support the view that an ancient genetic mechanism forms the basis for both apical ectodermal ridge (AER) formation in vertebrates and wing-margin formation in flies. There is now a range of circumstantial evidence for a conserved interaction between fringe homologues and Notch pathways.
