High impact information on msxb

Regulatory elements controlling Ci-msxb tissue-specific expression during Ciona intestinalis embryonic development [1].
Whole mount in situ hybridization showed that the Ci-msxb expression first is detected at 110 cell-stage in the blastomeres that are precursors of different tissue (muscle, spinal cord, endodermal strand, brain, mesenchyme, pigmented cells and primordial pharynx) [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of msxb

Both electroporation and gel-shift assays of overlapping wild type and mutated oligonucleotides demonstrated that a unique sequence of 30 bp is involved in Ci-msxb neural activation from neurula to larva stage [1].
