At E14.5, _Fgf7_ is expressed along the AP and ON axes of the palate. | | E12.5 | E13.5 | E14.5 | E15.5 | |--------|-------|-------|-------|-------| | **Coronal** | [![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_coronal_E12.5_0.jpg){width=100 height=100}](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_coronal_E12.5_0.jpg) | [![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_coronal_E13.5_0.jpg){width=100 height=100}](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_coronal_E13.5_0.jpg) | [![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_coronal_E14.5_0.jpg){width=100 height=100}](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_coronal_E14.5_0.jpg) | ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/blank.gif) | | **Intraoral** | [![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_oral_E12.5_0.jpg){width=100 height=100}](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_oral_E12.5_0.jpg) | [![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_oral_E13.5_0.jpg){width=100 height=100}](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_oral_E13.5_0.jpg) | [![ImageWithSize](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_oral_E14.5_0.jpg){width=100 height=100}](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/Fgf7_oral_E14.5_0.jpg) | ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/blank.gif) | N: Nasal Pr: Proximal Di: Distal O: Oral ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/6DC577.gif) Nasal mesenchym ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/FD8873.gif) All mesenchyme (ON axis) ![Image](/hatrac/facebase/genesummaries/8FBDCD.gif) All mesenchyme (AP axis) #### Sources: - Han et al.
