Research Abstract |
During skeletal development, the skeletal blastema starts from cell aggregates formation in the mesoderm tissue. To understand skeletal tissue formation, it is crucial to elucidate molecular mechanism how cell aggregates are formed. In this study we aimed to establish molecular approaches to identify functional molecules involved in the cell aggregates formation and to analyze their expressions and functions. Through these approaches, we identified and characterized several molecules that may function in the skeletal blastema.
