Cell differentiation is the regulated process of cell commitment, which contributes to the formation of developing tissues and organs. Understanding the early steps of cell differentiation is crucial for understanding other complex processes. Recombinant chicken limbs provide an experimental model to study cell differentiation and pattern generation.
Cell differentiation is the fine-tuned process of cell commitment leading to the formation of different specialized cell types during the establishment of developing tissues and organs. This process is actively maintained in adulthood. Cell differentiation is an ongoing process during the development and homeostasis of organs. Understanding the early steps of cell differentiation is essential to know other complex processes such as morphogenesis. Thus, recombinant chicken limbs are an experimental model that allows the study of cell differentiation and pattern generation under embryonic patterning signals. This experimental model imitates an in vivo environment; it assembles reaggregated cells into an ectodermal cover obtained from an early limb bud. Later, ectoderms are transferred and implanted in a chick embryo receptor to allow its development. This assay was mainly used to evaluate mesodermal limb bud cells; however, it can be applied to other stem or progenitor cells from other organisms.
