Paraxial Mesoderm: The Somites and Their Derivatives
Cell Types of the Somite
Establishing the Paraxial Mesoderm and Cell Fates along the Anterior-Posterior Axis
- Specification of the paraxial mesoderm
- Spatiotemporal collinearity of Hox genes
- determines identity along the trunk
Somitogenesis
- Axis elongation: A caudal progenitor zone and tissue-to-tissue forces
- How a somite forms: The clock-wavefront modelLinking the clock-wavefront to Hox-mediated axial
- identity and the end of somitogenesis
Sclerotome Development
- Vertebrae formation
- Tendon formation: The syndetome
Dermomyotome Development
- Determination of the central dermomyotome
- Determination of the myotome
