Developmental fates of shark head cavities reveal mesodermal contributions to tendon progenitor cells in extraocular muscles
Abstract Vertebrate extraocular muscles (EOMs) function in eye movements. The EOMs of modern jawed vertebrates consist primarily of four recti and two oblique muscles innervated by three cranial nerves. The developmental mechanisms underlying the establishment of this complex and the evolutionarily...
