Human foregut morphogenesis exhibits murine-like molecular patterning but avian-like epithelial architecture
Rui Yan, Albert Z. Ma, Clifford James Tabin
The paper compares human, mouse, and chick foreguts to show human foregut combines mouse-like molecular patterning with chick-like epithelial architecture, suggesting chick embryos are useful for studying human foregut malformations.
