Abstract excerpt
During normal murine palatogenesis, regional specific differentiation of the epithelium results in three cell phenotypes: nasal (ciliated pseudostratified columnar cells), oral (stratified squamous cells) and medial edge (migratory, epithelio-mesenchymally transformed cells). We have developed a defined, serum-free, culture system which supports the growth and differentiation of isolated murine embryonic palatal...
