... other regions of the somite are neither present nor required. In addition to the myotome, the transplanted DML also gives rise to the dermomyotome epithelium overlying the new myotome growth region and from which the mesenchymal dermatome will later emerge. These results demonstrate that the DML...

In the trunk, lateral and ventral dermis originate from the somatopleure ( Murray, 1928 ; Mauger, 1972a ), whereas the dorsolateral dermis derives from dermatomal cells originating from the somites ( Mauger and Sengel, 1970 ; Mauger, 1972a ; Christ et al., 1983...
