Transdifferentiation of larval Xenopus laevis iris under the influence of the pituitary.

Cioni C , Bosco L , Filoni S .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Fragments of larval Xenopus laevis dorsal iris implanted together with the pituitary into the tail fin transdifferentiate into neural retina. On the contrary, in the control experiments the implanted tissues, dorsal iris alone, pituitary, or dorsal iris with liver fragments, do not undergo any retinal transformation.
