...scientists chose to work with Pitxl because it is present during the early stages of the chicken embryo's development. Logan and Tabin believe that Pitxl activates other genes responsible for limb-specific development...
...that Pitxl has been identified as a key regulator of limb formation, Logan said he wants to further examine the effects of this gene on embryo development...
...want to understand how these genes are actually interacting with the common cues which lead to the characteristic skeletal structure which form in the wing and the leg," Logan said...
Although the study does not have any direct implications for the treatment of humans, Logan said the experiments would help scientists gain a better understanding of developmental disorders in the human embryo...
...think that we're a long way off from correcting genetic problems," Logan said. "But, studying these genes will give us an idea of what's gone wrong when a gene has been damaged and why it causes certain diseases...
