Description: Mesenchymal cells, extracted from a developing mouse limb, form a periodic pattern as seen in this picture. This culture has a particular name of micromass cell culture. In blue you can see cells that will differentiate into bone and cartilage, they express Sox9 transcription factor, and in yellow the ones that will not, they express Bmp2 protein. This pattern arises spontaneously from a homogeneous state of cells.
