While both eye fields and EFTF - expressing pluripotent cells generated epidermis, forebrain, and olfactory tissue when grafted to the anterior neural plate, transplanted eye fields also formed muscle and head mesenchyme (Figure 4 and unpublished data). (journals.plos.org)
Removal of surrounding mesenchyme prevents growth and alters the differentiation profile of the pancreatic epithelium. (vicc.org)
Since it is known that 13 different members of the fibroblast growth factor, or Fgf, family act as signaling proteins between the two different tissues — dental mesenchyme and oral epithelium — during murine tooth development, Javed and colleagues looked for changes in Fgf ligands in the mice lacking Sp7.
