There are important controversies in the field regarding the existence and function of Nodal gradients in regulating mesoderm formation. The four main signalling pathways interact in different ...

The research team at OIST focused on brachyury, a gene that plays a crucial role in mesoderm formation during vertebrate development. To distinguish the mesoderm from other layers, brachyury ...

Within the presomitic mesoderm, there is a wave of gene expression patterns that are driven by synchronicity across the cells, and this matches somite formation. This wave begins at the posterior ...

The heart arises from the mesoderm and is the first organ to be fully functional in the embryo. The process by which the heart forms is conserved across all vertebrates; heart tube formation ...

For starters, the team saw that the stem cells of the developing mesoderm began to travel underneath the original single layer of cells, forming a multi-layered structure just as it would in a ...

The precursor cells of the spine and ribs are somitic mesoderm cells, which arise from the sides of the embryo's back and form—besides bones—also muscles and parts of the skin. The third group ...

We work in two areas. The first is traditional cell and molecular biology, focussed on the molecular mechanisms underlying mesoderm formation, and neural crest induction, and tissue and organ ...

combining characteristics of both somite [1]-derived myogenic and lateral plate mesoderm [2] cells. These cells undergo cell death during muscle development, preventing the formation of distal ...

Muscle tissue is derived from the embryonic mesoderm, and in fruit flies, the formation of the muscles that move food through the gut—visceral muscles—begins with fusion of two cell types, known as ...
