  6. What the last Lecture was about • Mesoderm induces neuroectoderm in overlying ectoderm that gives rise to neuronal or epidermal cells. • The “default” state of neuroectodermal cells is neuronal. • Neuroectoderm secretes Bone Morphogenic Protein-4 (BMP-4), a signaling molecule that blocks the neuronal fate in neighboring neuroectodermal cells. • Mesoderm secretes proteins - Chordin, Noggin, Follistatin - that block BMP-4 and neuroectodermal cells continue as neuronal progenitors. • This inductive mechanism is conserved between vertebrates and invertebrates. • These, and other similar, signaling mechanisms are used by the developing nervous system to control other events later in development. • BMP-4 is a member of the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) family of signaling molecules.
