  Spemann's induction experiments
Spemann claimed that contact of the optic vesicle with the overlying ectoderm was needed to turn that ectoerm into a lens, but he did not know whether or not it was a sufficient cause.
After all, in 1903, Spemann (10) had shown that in constricted eggs, two neural axes form and that the extent of the neural tube appeared to be correlated with the extent to which the underlying archenteron roof mesoderm had progressed.
Spemann (10; quoted in 6) had even written that "It is conceivable that the neural plate is induced by the archenteron." However, Spemann was not thinking in those terms in 1918.

Two years after this, Spemann showed, in constricted eggs, two neural axes form and the extent of the neural tube appeared to correlate with the extent to which the underlying cavity roof of the middle layer of the early embryo had progressed(2).
Spemann proposed a "model" concerning the operculum (in humans, a plug of fibrin and blood cells developing over the site where a developing fertilized foetus has become embedded in the wall of the uterus) of tadpoles(4).
In 1914, Spemann decided to test the state of determination of early salamander gastrula, and transplanted small regions of embryos from one region on one salamander gastrula to a new region on another gastrula.

 A Baby's Hair
Hans Spemann was in a foul mood as he rearranged his blankets.
Spemann knew that Weismann’s theory was similar to that of Wilhelm Roux, who called it “qualitative division,” since cells change their genes every time they divide.
Spemann called it twinning, but we know it today by a different, more loaded, name: Spemann had documented the first in-vitro animal clone, and it was more than a little perplexing.

Spemann's name will always be associated with the work he did on experimental embryology.
Earlier Spemann had transplanted the optic cups of new embryos into the outermost layer of the region of the abdomen and had found that they induced the production, in this new situation, of a lens of the eye.
By these and other experiments of a similar kind Spemann laid the foundations of the theory of embryonic induction by organizers, which led later to biochemical studies of this process and the ultimate development of the modern science of experimental morphogenesis.

A remarkable series of experiments conducted by the German embryologist Hans Spemann and his student Hilde Mangold in 1924 fired the imagination of embryologists and spawned a new era of embryological investigation that was truly the heyday of embryology.
Spemann and Mangold demonstrated that the transplantation of a small amount of tissue from the dorsal side of an early embryo of Triturus (tailed amphibian) could induce host tissue to form a secondary embryonic axis, including neural tissue.
Spemann concluded that the behavior of an implanted region (the dorsal lip of the blastopore) reflects its normal function in inducing the primary axis and designated it as the embryonic organizer.

Spemann was born in Stuttgart and studied at Heidelberg and Würtzburg.
Next he transplanted various embryonic parts to other areas of the embryo and to different embryos, and demonstrated that one area of embryonic tissue influences the development of neighbouring tissues.
In another series of experiments, Spemann found that embryonic tissue from newts always gives rise to newt organs, even when transplanted into a frog embryo, and that frog tissue always develops into frog organs in a newt embryo.

 About Hans Spemann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
German embryologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1935 for his discovery of the effect now known as embryonic induction, the influence exercised by various parts of the embryo that directs the development of groups of cells into particular tissues and organs.
Spemann, initially a medical student, attended the universities of Heidelberg, Munich, and Wurzburg and graduated in zoology, botany, and physics.
Spemann's concept of induction was based upon a lifetime of research into the early development of the newt.

It was in this context that the courage and independence of thought of the founders of experimental embryology, Wilhelm Roux, Hans Driesch, Ross Harrison and Hans Spemann, served as an inspiration to an entire generation of emerging biologists and embryologists.
Spemann's department was dominated by experimental embryology and a fellow student Hilde Mangold (nee Proescholdt) was just beginning her Ph.D. project involving research that later became famous as the organizer experiment, which won Spemann the Nobel Prize in 1935.
Many of the discoveries of the Spemann school, and later those of Hamburger, came not from doing what was fashionable, but from a deep understanding of developmental events based on detailed observations of experimental material.

Hans Spemann was born in Stuttgart on June 27th, 1869.
Hans Spemann studied embyogenesis on the newt embryo by transplantation and by cutting off the circulation to certain tissues.
One of his most famous experiments together with H. Mangold was the transplantation of the blastopol lip in a Triturus embryo, wich led to the formation of a second body axsis, like in siamese twins.

When the dorsal lip of the blastopore (DLB) was transplanted from an early gastrula into the ventral ectoderm of another gastrula (using two strains of differently pigmented newts), transplanted DLB not only continued to be the blastopore, but it also initiated gastrulation and embryogenesis of a second embryo in the surrounding tissue....>secondary embryo!
Spemann proposed that the dorsal lip material induces the overlying ectoderm to become neural tissue.
1) dorsal lip cells induced the host's ventral tissue (in Spemann's graft experiment) to change their fates to form a neural tube and dorsal mesoderm tissue.
