Linkages between BMP, canonical WNT/β-catenin, and FGF20 signaling during placode formation in the chicken anterior eye segment

Key Points

• Key interactions among bmp, wnt/beta-catenin, and fgf20 were observed during placode formation.
• The study indicates that these signaling pathways strongly influence the anterior eye segment's development.
• Analysis based on embryonic chicken models provided insights into the molecular mechanisms at play.
• Highlighting these connections may enhance understanding of eye development mechanisms and potential congenital issues.
