From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In embryology, the limb bud is a structure formed by the developing limb, derived from lateral plate mesoderm^{[citation needed]}. It is intimately related with the apical ectodermal ridge, which secretes factors inducing the initial differentiation of the limb bud. In turn, the mesodermal tissue of the limb bud secretes factors sustaining the development of the AER.
