Abstract
Head mesoderm cells from chick embryos at
different stages of development were dissociated and
cultured on plastic coverslips. In all cultures several cellular
aggregates were described by means of scanning electron
microscopy. Isolated cells present filopodia and
lamellipodia. However, when mesoderm cells make contact
with one another the filopodial and lamellipodial activity
in the contact cellular edge disappear. Thus, the cells into
cellular clusters do not present projections. The clusters
were circular and bidimensional in character. The scanning
electron microscopic observations showed that it is the type
1 variant of "contact inhibition of locomotion" which
occurs. By means of these mechanisms the bidimensional
aggregates are formed and cellular overlapping is not
present. Since the behaviour of the mesoderm cells "in
vitro" in some way could be comparable to their behaviour
"in situ", the results here observed are discussed in relation
to the conduct of mesoderm cells "in vivo".
