title: Pattern formation: swimming in retinoic acid.
abstract: The metabolite retinoic acid has been implicated as a key player during anterior-posterior patterning in vertebrate embryos. Recent studies in zebrafish extend this model by demonstrating the influence of retinoic acid on endoderm regionalization.
