twist is required in head mesenchyme for cranial neural tube morphogenesis.
Open accessAbstract
To understand the role of twist during mammalian development, we generated twist-null mice. twist-null embryos died at embryonic day 11.5. Their most prominent phenotype was a failure of the cranial neural folds to fuse. Mutant embryos also had defects in head mesenchyme, somites, and limb buds. Chimera analysis suggested that head mesenchyme was required for cranial neural tube closure and that twist acted in a cell-autonomous manner in this tissue. In addition, in the head mesenchyme region of chimeras, twist-null cells were segregated from wild-type cells, and in the forebrain they lacked mesenchymal characteristics. These results suggest that twist regulates the cellular phenotype and behavior of head mesenchyme cells that are essential for the subsequent formation of the cranial neural tube.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
