Developmental Mechanism - Epithelial Mesenchymal Interaction

Currently this page is only a template and will be updated (this notice removed when completed).

Introduction

Epithelial cells (organised cellular layer) and mesenchymal cells (disorganised cellular layers) or embryonic connective tissue interact together signaling back and forth by secreted signals or contact in the differentiation of many different organs, tissues and structures.

Mechanism - "a process, technique, or system for achieving a result".

Cells organised as a layer (epithelia) and cells organised as a multilayer embryonic connective tissue (mesenchymal) signaling back and forth are key to the of development in many different tissues. For example, in nephron development in the kidney.
