The key to left-right asymmetry
- 01Cilia are essential components for breaking initial biological symmetry
- 02Asymmetric signaling cascades guide the positioning of internal organs
- 03A midline barrier helps maintain the established left-right asymmetry
- 04Reaction-diffusion mechanisms likely play a key role in the process
The establishment of left-right asymmetry in vertebrates relies on cilia, signaling cascades, and reaction-diffusion mechanisms.
Establishment of left-right asymmetry in vertebrates involves cilia as essential components in the breaking of symmetry, an asymmetric signaling cascade, and a midline barrier that helps to maintain asymmetry. A new study suggests that a reaction-diffusion mechanism also plays a key role.
