mesodermal differentiation
Mesodermal differentiation refers to how early embryonic cells, called mesoderm cells, develop into various tissues and structures in the body such as muscles, bones, blood vessels, and the heart. During this process, these versatile cells receive signals that guide them to specialize and form specific cell types. It’s a crucial step in development, ensuring that the body’s different systems form correctly. Essentially, mesodermal differentiation is the transformation of one type of early cell into the various specialized cells that make up much of the body's support and transport systems.
