Lecture 16 Fate Mapping and Gastrulation in Sea Urchin
Lecture 16 Fate Mapping and Gastrulation in Sea Urchin
• The veg2 cells induce the cells above them to assume the veg1
fates
Interaction of blastomeres
• It is hypothesized that
• Originally, all the cells of the blastula are connected on their outer
surface to the hyaline layer and on their inner surface to a basal
lamina secreted by the cells.
Mechanism of ingression of primary mesenchymes
• The primary mesenchyme precursors
• Lose their affinity for
• the hyaline layer
• their neighbors
• Increase their affinity hundredfold for
• basal lamina
• extracellular matrix (such as fibronectin)
