关键步骤和限制：EAD换脸程序的时间和密集的工作。它需要实践，稳定的双手，灵巧和完善。换脸协议依赖于研究人员的能力，有效地去除和移植组织。如果时间过长插入移植到宿主的脸，主机脸会开始收缩和愈合。镊子可以用来微妙地扩大面部区域。然而，如果已经发生显著伤口收缩，移植不会愈合，以及与可能需要减小尺寸，以适应宿主的面部孔。移植的尺寸和形状必须大致相匹配的?...

要了解颅面发育过程中相关颅面先天缺陷1-2，重要组织和他们的贡献的信令机制必须进行标识。在青蛙非洲爪蟾中，面部的一部分，包括口腔和鼻孔形式从“极端前域”（EAD），其中外胚层和内胚层直接并置3-4。在EAD也作为一个信令中心来影响周围的组织，包括颅神经嵴，形成钳口和其他面部区域5。识别基因，有助于EAD功能，一个“脸移植”技术被开发，其中组织从供体移植到宿主胚胎，除去对应主机区域之后。继移植，导致面部发育评估。因此，功能丧失（LOF）或功能（GOF）中的EAD特定基因增益的效果的局部分析，其中的h时休息EAD和身体是由野生型的组织。的倒数可移植的执行，其中野生型组织被移植到与全局LOF或GOF中的胚胎特异性基因。移植已被经常使用在非洲爪蟾和小鸡研究6。例如， 非洲爪蟾移植已经解决了纯合神经诱导，镜头和神经的能力，和神经嵴迁移7-10。鹌鹑鸡嵌合体移植术分析了前神经板，前神经嵴，神经嵴和颅骨11-14的发展。这是在非洲爪蟾颅面部发育的研究第一次移植技术，该技术已经证明了的Wnt抑制剂Frzb1和红新月会在推定口5调节基底膜形成了一种新的作用。 非洲爪蟾是颅面部发育的研究的理想模型因为胚胎是大的，发展对外，一个ND面对的是随时可见，让显微和发展成像。机制相关的面部发育出现保守，表明在青蛙作出裁断洞察人类发展4,15-16。

移植组织应完全插入主机头移植后， 如图3A所示，并有一个玻璃桥适当地放置在胎儿的脸， 如图2BC。移植的供体组织必须正确尺寸为主机开放，为移植成功。在EAD组织不应从头部伸出，以任何方式，如在图3B和3C所示。此外，表面移植不应转动相对于其在供体身体的位置， 如图3D。几个小时后，将移植的组织与周围面应该愈合，并且?...
