A critical stage in the development of all vertebrate embryos is the generation of the body
plan and its subsequent patterning and regionalisation along the main anterior-posterior …

Patterning events along the anterior–posterior (AP) axis of vertebrate embryos result in the
distribution of muscle and bone forming a highly effective functional system. A key aspect of …

Background The axial skeleton is one of the defining evolutionary landmarks of vertebrates.
How this structure develops and how it has evolved in the different vertebrate lineages is …

Somites are segments of paraxial mesoderm that give rise to a multitude of tissues in the
vertebrate embryo. Many decades of intensive research have provided a wealth of data on …

During the development of the vertebrate embryo, segmented structures called somites are
periodically formed from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) and give rise to the vertebral …

During the development of the vertebrate embryo, segmented structures called somites are
periodically formed from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) and give rise to the vertebral …

During development, vertebrate embryos produce serially repeated elements, the somites,
on each side of the midline. These generate the vertebral column, skeletal musculature and …

The mammalian body plan is shaped by rhythmic segmentation of mesoderm into somites,
which are transient embryonic structures consisting of hundreds of cells that form down each …

In the vertebrate embryo, the somites arise from the paraxial mesoderm as paired
mesodermal units in a craniocaudal sequence. Segmentation is also the underlying …

Somitogenesis refers to the segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm, a tissue located on the
back of the embryo, into regularly spaced and sized pieces, ie, the somites. This periodicity …
