Abstract

During zebrafish gastrulation, mesendoderm progenitor cells differentiate to mesoderm or endoderm cells. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Barone and colleagues (2017) show that the interplay between cell-cell contact duration and morphogen signaling can control this fate segregation, providing a new framework for self-organization in embryonic patterning.
