Sclerotome Cells (TMscScl)


Smt.TMscScl.SclCs

Thoracic 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 thoracic area bone and cartilage cells.
