As they acquire distinct fates, embryonic cell populations become separated bysharp boundaries. Several theories have been proposed to explain this astonishingphenomenon, which remains very poorly understood. This study investigatestissue separation at the cellular and molecular level, using the gastrulatingXenopus embryo as a model. At this developmental stage, boundaries divide theembryo into its basic body structures, starting with separation of the germ layers,followed by the separation of presomitic mesoderm from notochord. Live cellmicroscopy at these boundaries revealed a contact-mediated repulsion mechanismthat is controlled by a combination of several Eph receptors and their ephrinligands. Loss and gain of function approaches sugge...
