Research Abstract |
Epiderm-like cells that are madefrom a chicken neural plate explant are the embryonic ectoderm characteristically expressing a neural plate border specifier Dlx5, which non-cell autonomously controlsthe border of the neural crest and the pre-placodal ectoderm. The epiderm-like cells can be formed only when BMP4 and FGF2 are added into the medium of the explant, and this neural plate explant culture system would help to elucidatea stepwise induction and differentiation mechanismof the placode in the embryo.
