Neural crest cells are multipotent progenitor cells, but it is not understood how these cells
generate their diverse differentiated progeny. This review considers the issues of whether …

The neural crest is a transient population of multipotent and migratory cells unique to
vertebrate embryos. Initially derived from the borders of the neural plate, these cells undergo …

Neural crest cells are a vertebrate innovation and form a wide variety of embryonic cell types
as diverse as peripheral neurons and facial skeleton. They undergo complex migration and …

A wide array of neural and non‐neural cell types arises from the neural crest during
vertebrate embryogenesis. The neural crest forms transiently in the dorsal neural …

The neural crest is a stem/progenitor cell population that contributes to a wide variety of
derivatives, including sensory and autonomic ganglia, cartilage and bone of the face and …

This review addresses the contribution of in vitro investigations to our understanding of
neural crest development. Cell culture has been used to study the environmental control of …

The neural crest is a multipotent migratory embryonic cell population that is present in all
vertebrates, but missing from basal chordates. In this chapter, we discuss recent work in …

The rate of proliferation of cells depends on the proportion of cycling cells and the frequency
of cell division. Here, we describe in detail methods for quantifying the proliferative behavior …

The neural crest is an excellent model system for the study of cell type diversification during
embryonic development due to its multipotency, motility, and ability to form a broad array of …
