Studies of mesoderm induction in Xenopus and zebrafish trace their origins back to Pieter Nieuwkoop's experiments nearly 40 years ago, and have been a subject of intensive investigation ever since.

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 ...

The theory is that when these small amounts of medication are injected into the mesoderm, underlying fat is melted. Since 1952, approximately 15,000 doctors in France and South America have been ...

In animal development, organogenesis is the process by which the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm develop into the internal organs of the organism. The germ layers in organogenesis differ by three ...

In the weeks after fertilization, the embryo develops into layers: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. These layers lay the foundation for the development and maturation of tissues and organs in the body ...

The team identified muscle progenitor cells with a unique dual identity, combining characteristics of both somite [1]-derived myogenic and lateral plate mesoderm [2] cells. These cells undergo ...

The somitomeres are actually spirals of concentric mesoderm that go on to become somites in the unsegmented paraxial or the presomitic mesoderm. The presomitic mesoderm then gives rise to a series ...

As the body forms during embryogenesis, three germ layers are created; these are the endoderm (precursor of the epidermis and neural tissue), mesoderm (precursor of muscles, skeleton ...
