In a new study published in eLife, the researchers focused on the outermost visceral endoderm cells of mouse embryos. By ...

Our focus is on the endoderm, the progenitor tissue that gives rise to respiratory and digestive tracts, and associated organs such as the lung, liver and pancreas. Our overarching goal is to ...

After exposure to trans-retinoic acid, these cells can develop into two distinct forms of extra-embryonic endoderm. To date, differential library screening has been the best tool available to ...

Embryonic stem cells in culture are capable of self-renewal without differentiation and are able to differentiate into all cell types of the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm lineages using ...

In this study, the researchers focused on the outermost visceral endoderm cells of mouse embryos. By labeling endosomes with fluorescent markers, they successfully observed the fusion process ...

A complex interplay between the facial ectoderm, placodes, NCCs, neuroepithelium, and endoderm orchestrates accurate viscerocranium sculpting; this involves continuous expression changes in ...
