The molecular mechanisms of stomach development in vertebrates.
The tissue interactions between endodermal epithelium and mesenchyme originated from splanchnic mesoderm are essential during the formation of digestive tract. In this review, we introduce a series of works to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the epithelial-mesenchymal interaction of stomach development in mainly the chicken embryo. We also describe some molecular studies in mouse stomach development.
