AN ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDY OF EARLY MORPHOGENETIC EVENTS DURING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FETAL HEPATIC ERYTHROPOIESIS
Abstract
Morphogenetic events are described which characterize early stages of the interaction between mesenchyme and expanding epithelial cell cords derived from the hepatic endodermal diverticulum in the C57BL/6J mouse. This interaction culminates in the differentiation of hepatic epithelial and hematopoietic tissues. No basement membrane separates the presumptive hepatic epithelial cells from the adjacent mesenchyme, while intercellular attachments, …
