The events that convert adherent epithelial cells into individual migratory cells that can
invade the extracellular matrix are known collectively as epithelial-mesenchymal transition …

The skin is the largest organ of the body, having a complex multi-layered structure and
guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments, and internal organs. It serves as the first …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) in mammals forms from neural crest cells during
embryogenesis and early postnatal life. Nevertheless, multipotent progenitors of the ENS …

S100 protein is a sensitive marker for melanomas and peripheral nerve sheath tumors. It is,
however, expressed by other mesenchymal and epithelial tumors. Despite its low specificity …

In this review, we explore the connections between epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT)
and differentiation status. EMTs in development have been described as differentiation …

Skin pigmentation pattern is a species-specific characteristic that depends on the number
and the spatial combination of several types of chromatophores. This feature can change …

Neuroblastoma (NB), the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, is an
extremely heterogeneous disease both biologically and clinically. Although significant …

Peripheral nerve injuries are one of the most common types of traumatic damage to the
nervous system. Treatment of peripheral nerve injuries aims to promote axon regrowth by …

Adult tissues contain highly proliferative, clonogenic cells that meet criteria of multipotent
stem cells and are potential sources for autologous reparative and reconstructive medicine …

Somatic neural and neural crest stem cells are promising sources for cellular therapy of
several neurodegenerative diseases. However, because of practical considerations such as …
