[Organization and differentiation of the somite mesoderm cultured in the presence of adjacent tissues (notocord, spinal cord, ectoderm, endoderm) in anurans]. 1976

J J Brustis

The explantation of pieces of somitic mesoderm alone or in association with neighbouring tissues (notochord, spinal cord, ectoderm, endoderm) shows slearly the power of self-differentiation of the somitic tissue. Only, the spinal cord does not stimulate the differentiation of the somitic mesoderm into muscular tissue. Only the notochord does not stimulate the formation of typical myotomes. It seems that ii does not possess biochemical activity, its effect if reduced to a mechanical role.

D002454	Cell Differentiation	Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs.	Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D004475	Ectoderm	The outer of the three germ layers of an embryo.	Apical Ectodermal Ridge,Apical Ectodermal Ridges,Ectodermal Ridge, Apical,Ectoderms
D004627	Embryonic Induction	The complex processes of initiating CELL DIFFERENTIATION in the embryo. The precise regulation by cell interactions leads to diversity of cell types and specific pattern of organization (EMBRYOGENESIS).	Embryonic Inductions,Induction, Embryonic,Inductions, Embryonic
D004707	Endoderm	The inner of the three germ layers of an embryo.	Definitive Endoderm,Definitive Endoderms,Endoderm, Definitive,Endoderms
D000367	Age Factors	Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
