Pituitary dwarfism is usually associated with a failure of the oropharyngeal
ectoderm of the cranial pharyngeal duct (Rathke's pouch) to differentiate into trophic - hormone - secreting cells of the pars distalis.
The second most common cause is craniopharyngioma, a benign tumor derived from the oropharyngeal
ectoderm of Rathke's pouch.
The cells originate outside the central nervous system in
the ectoderm of the body wall and appear to migrate to their final locations within the central nervous system by crawling along strands of connective tissue.

It's in the last
of these «derms» — the
ectoderm — where the vast majority
of skin, hair and nails develop.
But it seemed unlikely, because the body coverings were thought to grow differently: Feathers and hair develop from specialized plates
of thickened
ectoderm — an embryonic cell layer — called anatomical placodes, structures not seen in reptiles.
These «snapshots»
of development led scientists to believe that gills were formed from different tissues: the internal «endoderm» lining in jawless vertebrates, and the «
ectoderm» outer skin in the jawed.

of the embryo organize themselves at an early stage in germ layers: the endoderm, mesoderm and
ectoderm.
ES cells are pluripotent, that is, they are able to differentiate into all derivatives
of the three primary germ layers:
ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.

of a particular signal at the correct time elicits the appearance
of the mesoderm, endoderm and

of all cell types — with a spatial organization similar to that
of an embryo.
bilaterians: A clade
of animals whode members share: bilateral symmetry, are triploblastic (three tissue layers:
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm), and with HOX genes in one or more clusters with the genes within a cluster arranged in the same order as the body parts they affect.
Simultaneously, expression
of markers for major developmental lineages, including trophectoderm (Cdx2),
ectoderm (Fgf5), mesoderm (T) and endoderm (Gsc, Sox7 and Afp), was activated (Figure 4B, bottom panel).
Histochemical analysis indicated the existence
of tissues from all three germ layers, such as neural epithelial cells (
ectoderm), intestines (endoderm) and muscle (mesoderm)(Figure 6A).

of rosette - like structures (A, yellow arrow) and
ectoderm - derived squamous epithelium was identified (B, yellow arrow).
J, Hematoxylin and eosin staining
of teratoma sections generated from integration - free iPSC lines showing differentiation in three germ layers: goblet cells in gastro - intestinal (GI) tract (endoderm); neural rosettes (
ectoderm) and blood vessels, muscle and cartilage / bone (mesoderm).
Moreover, ES cell differentiation in vitro recapitulates events that take place during early embryonic development including the formation
of the three germ layers
of ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, and the emergence
of endothelial, hematopoietic, cardiac, neuronal and hepatic or pancreatic cells [8], [9].
«There is another concern about «embryoids,» which are a special class
of organoid containing all three layers
of embryonic tissue: the
ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm,» says Koehler.
The tongue is a muscle composed
of all three embryonic germ layers — endoderm,
ectoderm and mesoderm.
Among other things, when the embryon grows into a fetus, the
ectoderm gives rise to the central and the peripheral nervous system, the mesoderm gives rise to connective tissue, the kidneys and the bones and muscles, and the entoderm gives rise to the epithelial lining
of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, the liver and the pancreas.
Ectodermal defects: any
of a multitude
of abnormalities arising from maldevelopment
of the fetal
ectoderm (e.g., skin, nervous system, eyes).
This name refers to the fact that the early embryo
of bilaterians (the blastula stage) is generally composed
of three primary germ layers: the
ectoderm (outer layer), the endoderm (inner layer), and the mesoderm (middle layer) between them.
