Elucidating the mechanisms by which multipotent cells differentiate into distinct lineages is a
common theme underlying developmental biology investigations. Progress has been made …

The trunk neural crest of vertebrate embryos is a transient collection of precursor cells
present along the dorsal aspect of the neural tube. These cells migrate on two distinct …

Neural crest stem cells were first isolated from early embryonic neural crest in the early
1990s, but in the past 5 years, there has been a burst of discoveries of neural crest‐derived …

Craniofacial evolution is considered fundamental to the origin of vertebrates and central to
this process was the formation of a migratory, multipotent cell population known as the …

The neural crest (NC) is a transient population of multipotent progenitors arising at the
lateral edge of the neural plate in vertebrate embryos, which then migrate throughout the …

In their seminal 1983 paper, Gans and Northcutt proposed that evolution of the vertebrate
'new head'was made possible by the advent of the neural crest and cranial placodes. The …

From the initial discovery of the neural crest over 150 years ago to the seminal studies of Le
Douarin and colleagues in the latter part of the twentieth century, understanding of the …

A transient and unique population of multipotent stem cells, known as neural crest cells
(NCCs), generate a bewildering array of cell types during vertebrate development. An …

Neural crest stem/progenitor cells arise early during vertebrate embryogenesis at the border
of the forming central nervous system. They subsequently migrate throughout the body …

Neural crest cells are the embryonic precursors of the neurons and glia of the peripheral
nervous system, pigment cells, and connective tissue in the face, neck and heart. They are …
