Abstract

During embryonic development, the right tissue types must form in the proper location. Kinney et al. show that a developmental checkpoint functions during mesoderm induction, ensuring that Sox2-expressing cells do not migrate into the mesoderm. This checkpoint is critical for preventing ectopic spinal cord from forming in place of mesoderm.
