The physical forces that drive morphogenesis are not well characterized in vivo, especially among vertebrates. In the early limb bud, dorsal and ventral ectoderm converge to form the apical ectodermal ...

Collaborative work has developed a cell culture system that differentiates human pluripotent stem cells to amniotic ectoderm and surface ectoderm based on cell density. Research conducted by Dr Shota ...

Neural crest cells have been thought to originate in the ectoderm, the outermost of the three germ layers formed in the earliest stages of embryonic development. But their capacity to form derivatives ...
