Abstract excerpt
Zebrafish embryonic red blood cells (RBCs) develop in trunk intermediate mesoderm (IM), and early macrophages develop in the head, suggesting that local microenvironmental cues regulate differentiation of these two blood lineages. spadetail (spt) mutant embryos, which lack trunk paraxial mesoderm (PM) due to a cell-autonomous defect in tbx16, fail to produce embryonic RBCs but retain head macrophage development....
