Introduction
The middle layer of the early trilaminar embryo germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm) formed by gastrulation.

Some Recent Findings
- Signaling gradients during paraxial mesoderm development[1] "These studies indicate that high levels of Wnt and FGF signaling are required for the segmentation clock activity. Furthermore, we discuss how these signaling gradients act in a dose-dependent manner in the progenitors of the paraxial mesoderm, partly by regulating cell movements during gastrulation. Finally, links between the process of axial specification of vertebral segments and Hox gene expression are discussed."
- Transcriptional profiling of the nucleus pulposus: say yes to notochord[2]"This editorial addresses the debate concerning the origin of adult nucleus pulposus cells in the light of profiling studies by Minogue and colleagues. In their report of several marker genes that distinguish nucleus pulposus cells from other related cell types, the authors provide novel insights into the notochordal nature of the former. Together with recently published work, their work lends support to the view that all cells present within the nucleus pulposus are derived from the notochord. Hence, the choice of an animal model for disc research should be based on considerations other than the cell loss and replacement by non-notochordal cells."
Mesoderm Formation during Gastrulation
<Flowplayer width="390" height="510" autoplay="true">Mesoderm_001.flv</Flowplayer> | This animation shows the migration of mesoderm throughout the embryonic disc during gastrulation.
The pink arrow show how mesodermal cells spread out between the ectoderm and endoderm layers, forming the third layer of the trilaminar embryo. Axial process - the arrow running from the primitive node upward is the axial process which will later form the notochord. There are only 2 regions where no mesoderm is found: buccopharyngeal membrane and cloacal membrane.
Prechordal plate - lies above the buccopharyngeal membrane and is the cardiogenic mesoderm, that will form the heart. |
