Schwann cells are glial cells of the peripheral nervous system. They exist in several
subtypes and perform a variety of functions in nerves. Their derivation and culture in vitro are …

The neural crest (NC) is an emblematic population of embryonic stem-like cells with
remarkable migratory ability. These distinctive attributes have inspired the curiosity of …

Bioenergetic metabolism is a key regulator of cellular function and signaling, but how it can
instruct the behavior of cells and their fate during embryonic development remains largely …

Although neural stem/progenitor cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells
(hiPSC-NS/PCs) are expected to be a cell source for cell-based therapy, tumorigenesis of …

The vagal ganglia, comprised of the superior (jugular) and inferior (nodose) ganglia of the
vagus nerve, receive somatosensory information from the head and neck, or viscerosensory …

Neural crest cells (NCCs) are highly motile, multipotent, embryonic cells that delaminate
from the dorsal edges of the neural tube. NCCs follow stereotypical long‐range migratory …

Piezo1 and Piezo2 are recently reported mechanosensory ion channels that transduce
mechanical stimuli from the environment into intracellular biochemical signals in various …

During embryonic development, the vertebrate embryonic epiblast is divided into two parts
including neural and superficial ectoderm. The neural plate border (NPB) is a narrow …

Thymic atrophy and the progressive immune decline that accompanies it is a major health
problem, chronically with age and acutely with immune injury. No solution has been defined …

Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) are transient glial progenitors that are important for the
formation of late neural crest derivatives, yet their heterogeneity and developmental …
