Bending of the neural plate during mouse spinal neurulation is independent of actin microfilaments. In the developing human embryo, a mere wisp of tissue called the neural plate gives rise to a nervous system consisting of billions of interconnected nerve cells. The most appreciable staining was noted in the developing nervous system, with the highest levels of TUNEL staining observed in early neural plate--stage embrvos (stage 16-17), followed by a decline during late neural plate stages, and a subsequent resurgence of apoptosis in later tadpole stages (stages 26-35; embryos not examined at later stages) (Hensey and Gautier 1998). |
