The neural crest is a migratory population of embryonic cells with a tremendous potential to
differentiate and contribute to nearly every organ system in the adult body. Over the past two …

Functional recovery after neurotmesis, a complete transection of the nerve fiber, is often poor
and requires a surgical procedure. Especially for longer gaps (> 3 mm), end-to-end suturing …

Multipotent neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) have the potential to generate a wide range of
cell types including melanocytes; peripheral neurons; and smooth muscle, bone, cartilage …

Background Directed differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) into
functional, region-specific neural cells is a key step to realizing their therapeutic promise to …

The neural crest (NC) is a transient, multipotent, migratory cell population unique to
vertebrates that gives rise to diverse cell lineages. Much of our knowledge of NC …

The neural crest is a transient structure of vertebrate embryos that initially generates neural
crest stem cells (NCSCs) which then migrate throughout the body to produce a diverse array …

Schwann cells (SC), the glial cells of peripheral nerves, are involved in many diseases
including Charcot Marie Tooth and neurofibromatosis, and play a pivotal role in peripheral …

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 …

Adult bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are regarded as potential
candidates for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, because of their ability to promote …

The neural crest (NC) is a remarkable transient structure generated during early vertebrate
development. The neural crest progenitors have extensive migratory capacity and …
