Cranial placodes are embryonic structures needed for sensory and endocrine organ

Cranial placodes are embryonic structures needed for sensory and endocrine organ development. inhibition of FGF signaling disrupts placode derivation and induces surface ectoderm. Further fate specification at the pre-placode stage enables the selective generation of placode-derived trigeminal ganglia capable of engraftment mature lens fibers and anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells that upon transplantation produce human GH… Continue reading Cranial placodes are embryonic structures needed for sensory and endocrine organ
