Converse of object

• induce: Here we show that expression of active forms of MEK or of MAP kinase induces ventral mesoderm of the kind elicited by FGF.

• form: The interpretation of this experiment, therefore, is that contact with endodermal cells cause the ectodermal cells to form mesoderm.

Adjective modifier

• intermediate: The kidneys begin to develop around the 3rd week of fetal life from the intermediate mesoderm.

Modifies a noun

• induction: Fig 4. The three signal model of mesoderm induction.

• formation: Jim Smith Professor Jim Smith conducts research into mesoderm formation during early vertebrate development.

• layer: Cells from the crest of this fold, leave the ectoderm and migrate into the mesoderm layer.

• cell: If all mesoderm cell types are induced by activin, how is such patterning to be explained?

• form: Mesoderm forms in the equatorial region of the embryo, a result of signals generated by neighboring endodermal cells ( 1 ).
