Abstract
An isolated neural plate or a postnodal piece of early chick embryos, when cultured under appropriate experimental conditions, can undergo morphogenetic movements and form tubular structures closely resembling neural tubes of early chick embryos.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
