The formation of the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm during gastrulation. The process that gives rise to the mesoderm. This process pertains to the initial formation of the structure from unspecified parts. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become part of the mesoderm. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a mesoderm cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a mesoderm cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become a lateral mesoderm cell. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates of the endoderm, ectoderm and mesoderm as a part of gastrulation. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become an axial mesoderm cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a mesoderm cell. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become a paraxial mesoderm cell. The process by which the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into an intermediate mesoderm cell.
