Variable combinations of specific ephrin ligand/Eph receptor pairs control embryonic tissue separation.
Ephrins and Eph receptors are involved in the establishment of vertebrate tissue boundaries. The complexity of the system is puzzling, however in many instances, tissues express multiple ephrins and Ephs on both sides of the boundary, a situation that should in principle cause repulsion between cell...
