A community effect is required for amphibian notochord differentiation.

???displayArticle.abstract???
Xenopus mesoderm cells destined to form notochord have been isolated at various stages of gastrulation and cultured singly or in multicellular reaggregates in ectodermal sandwiches. When taken from mid gastrulae, singly implanted notochord progenitor cells can subsequently express the notochord marker MZ15. In contrast, the same cells taken from an early gastrula only do so when implanted as groups of such cells. We conclude that the community effect, first described for muscle differentiation, also applies to the notochord, and that the time in development when the notochord community effect is required precedes that for muscle.
