The description of the Organizer focuses on a very narrow part of this function. Organizers are a term for the ability of one group of cells to influence the fate of another. This article's explanation is very technical but doesn't really describe the overall mechanism. http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/S/Spemann.html goes into detail of previous experiments as well as technical explanation (receptor families involved) and how they are used within the larger picture to organize gene activation in a region. 04:04, 7 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pitpeelorchard (talk • contribs)

Nieuwkoop Center
Niuewkoop Center should not redirect to this page because it is not properly described here. It should be a red-link so that editors are aware it needs a page of its own. 2601:8C3:C280:7E50:44A7:117F:105B:752 (talk) 00:57, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
