Medial edge epithelial cell fate during palatal fusion.

Developmental biology - 15 Apr 2000

Martínez-Alvarez C, Tudela C, Pérez-Miguelsanz J, O'Kane S, Puerta J, Ferguson M W

Abstract excerpt

To explain the disappearance of medial edge epithelial (MEE) cells during palatal fusion, programmed cell death, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, and migration of these cells to the oral and nasal epithelia have been proposed. However, MEE cell death has not always been accepted as a mechanism involved in midline epithelial seam disappearance. Similarly, labeling of MEE cells with vital lipophilic markers...
