Short-Range Inter-Blastomere Signaling Specifies Ectodermal Fate and is Required for Skeletal Patterning in the Sea Urchin

<p>Sea urchin larvae possess a beautiful, intricately patterned, calcium-carbonate skeleton. Formation of this complex structure results from two independent processes within the developing embryo: specification of the mesenchymal cells that produce the skeletal rods, and patterning inputs fro...
