Sclerotome Cells (CMscScl)


Smt.CMscScl.SclCs

Cervical sclerotome cells are mesenchymal cells located at the ventromedial somite and are derived from epithelial somite cells by epithelial-mesemchymal transition due to signaling from notochord and floor plate. These cells give rise to the cervical area bone and cartilage cells.
