Craniofacial development, one of the most complex sequences of developmental events in
embryology, features a uniquely transient, pluripotent stem cell-like population known as the …

Neural crest cells and the community of plan for craniofacial development: historical debates
and current perspectives/Drew M. Noden and Richard A. Schneider--Neural crest inducing …

The neural crest is an embryonic cell population that originates at the border between the
neural plate and the prospective epidermis. Around the time of neural tube closure, neural …

After their initial discovery in the mid 1800s, neural crest cells transitioned from the category
of renegade intra-embryonic wanderers to achieve rebel status, provoked especially by the …

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 …

Patterning and morphogenesis of neural crest-derived tissues within a developing
vertebrate embryo rely on a complex balance between signals acquired by neural crest cells …

The craniofacial region is assembled through the active migration of cells and the
rearrangement and sculpting of facial prominences and pharyngeal arches, which …

Of all the model organisms used to study human development, rodents such as mice most
accurately reflect human craniofacial development. Collective advances in mouse …

The neural crest cells (NCCs), a transient group of cells that emerges from the dorsal aspect
of the neural tube during early vertebrate development has been a fascinating group of cells …

Neural crest cells appear early during embryogenesis and give rise to many structures in the
mature adult. In particular, a specific population of neural crest cells migrates to and …
