which become the placenta hypoblast cells, which become the supportive yolk sac extraembryonic mesoderm cells A total of 120 of these cells were mixed in a precise ratio - and then, the scientists ...

We work in two areas. The first is traditional cell and molecular biology, focussed on the molecular mechanisms underlying mesoderm formation, and neural crest induction, and tissue and organ ...
