EphrinB/EphB signaling controls embryonic germ layer separation by contact-induced cell detachment.

<h4>Background</h4>The primordial organization of the metazoan body is achieved during gastrulation by the establishment of the germ layers. Adhesion differences between ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm cells could in principle be sufficient to maintain germ layer integrity and prevent i...
