FGF8 stimulates growth of additional tooth-bud-like structures in ext2-/- mutant.
Beads were implanted at 36–39 hpf on one side of the body into an area in between the heart, ear and pectoral fin, where the teeth start to form. At 5 dpf, fish were fixed and stained with Alizarin red. Tooth-buds-like structures were formed on the pharyngeal arch neighboured by FGF-coated bead (arrowhead). Opposite arch was not affected. The tooth-bud-like structures were observed on each side of ext2-/--tooth. Asterisk indicate position of the bead.
