Article: Research reports on developmental biology from National University provide new insights.

According to recent research published in the journal BMC Developmental Biology, "Early events in vertebrate liver development have been the major focus in previous studies, however, late events of liver organogenesis remain poorly understood. Liver vasculogenesis in vertebrates occurs through the interaction of endoderm-derived liver epithelium and mesoderm-derived endothelial cells (ECs)."

"In zebrafish, although it has been found that ECs are not required for liver budding, how and when the spatio-temporal pattern of liver growth is coordinated with ECs remains to be elucidated. To study the process of liver development and vasculogenesis in vivo, a two-color ...
