The head and neck arise during development as the result of a complex series of cellular and molecular interactions that begin in the fertilized egg. In this article, the role of an important class of molecules, growth factors, is examined in two main steps of the developmental sequence: the initial induction of mesoderm and the later induction of jaw cartilage and bone. The article focuses particularly on the roles of members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and epithelial growth factor (EGF) families in these processes and current models of growth factor involvement. Possible experiments for the future are discussed.

In this report, we demonstrate that myogenic cultures inhibited from differentiating by treatment with fibroblast growth factor or transforming growth factor beta show reduced levels of MyoD1 mRNA. Although this repression may contribute to the inhibition of myogenesis by growth factors, additional regulatory pathways must be affected, since inhibition still occurs in cultures engineered to constitutively express MyoD1 mRNA.
