Fig. 9. Expression of wild-type Stbm elicits neural tube closure defects and failure of neural convergent extension. (A) Control embryo at mid-neurulation with closing NT. (B) Stbm-injected embryo with defective NT closure. (C) Xfd12 expression in control embryo at stage 14. (D) Xfd12 expression reveals defective neural convergent extension in a stage 14 Stbm-injected embryo. (E) Expression of Xpax3 in a control embryo. (F) Expression of Xpax3 in an XStbm injected embryo. (G) Expression of Xash3 in a control embryo. (H) Expression of Xash3 in an XStbm-injected embryos. (I) Expression of Sox2 in a control embryo. (J) Expression of Sox2 in an XStbm-injected embryos.
