Not exact matches

ES cells are pluripotent, that is, they are able to differentiate into all derivatives of the three primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.

Additionally, ERCs were reported to be able to differentiate into, or become, cells from the three different germ layers (see the previous post on MSCs for more details): mesoderm (muscle, bone, fat, cartilage, and endothelial cells), ectoderm (neurons), and endoderm (liver, pancreas, and lung cells)(Meng et al., 2007; Patel et al., 2008).

During the process, the cells begin to form three distinct layers: the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm, determining which tissues or organs the cells will then develop into.

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.
