Summary

Automatic Translation

Recombinant limbs are a powerful experimental model that allows for studying the process of cell differentiation and the generation of patterns under the influence of embryonic signals. This protocol presents a detailed method for generating recombinant limbs with chicken limb-mesodermal cells, adaptable to other cell types obtained from different organisms.
