Words similar to mesoderm
Example sentences for: mesoderm
How can you use “mesoderm” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) form a subfamily of the Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β) superfamily [ 1 2 3 4 ] . Members of the BMP family were initially identified by their ability to induce ectopic bone formation [ 4 ] . Functional characterization of BMPs and the cloning of new BMP family members have revealed that BMPs not only regulate bone formation and homeostasis but also function as morphogenetic factors for many other tissues and organs [ 2 ] . The critical regulatory roles of BMPs during early embryogenesis, such as neurogenesis, mesoderm formation and patterning, are also well-recognized [ 1 2 3 ] .
Lateral plate mesoderm extends about halfway out over the yolk sac.
These results were also unexpected because endothelial cells and neuronal cells normally derive, respectively, from mesoderm and ectoderm, distinct embryonic germ layers.
Indeed, the expression of dominant negative alleles that can potentially disrupt multiple members of a gene family has been used extensively in Xenopus laevis and has, for example, helped elucidate the action of fibroblast growth factors during mesoderm formation [ 19 ] . Such alleles are particularly useful when a null allele in the same gene causes a disruptive phenotype prior to the stage of development of interest.
The Vg1 RNA encodes a member of the transforming growth factor-β family that is required for generating dorsal mesoderm at the blastula stage of Xenopus embryogenesis [ 25 ] . Sequence conservation between the RBDs of DAZAP1 and Prrp suggests that these proteins may bind to similar RNA sequences.
