Transcription factors are modular proteins where distinct functions, such as DNA binding,
trans-activation or trans-repression, are often contained within separable domains. DNA …

In this review, we outline the gene-regulatory interactions driving neural crest development
and compare these to a hypothetical network operating in the embryonic ectoderm of the …

Cranial placodes are specialized regions of the ectoderm, which give rise to various sensory
ganglia and contribute to the pituitary gland and sensory organs of the vertebrate head …

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 …

In the embryo, the neural crest is an important population of cells that gives rise to diverse
derivatives, including the peripheral nervous system and the craniofacial skeleton …

The neural crest is a multipotent stem cell–like population that gives rise to a wide range of
derivatives in the vertebrate embryo including elements of the craniofacial skeleton and …

Melanocytes differentiate from the neural crest (NC), which is a transient population of cells
that delaminates from the neural tube and migrates extensively throughout the embryo …

The bones in your face, the pigment in your skin and the neural circuitry that controls your
digestive tract have one thing in common: they are all derived from neural crest cells. The …

The neural crest is a multipotent population of migratory cells unique to the vertebrate
embryo. Neural crest arises at the lateral edge of the neural plate and migrates throughout …

There is evidence in Xenopus and zebrafish embryos that the neural crest/neural folds are
specified at the border of the neural plate by a precise threshold concentration of a Bmp …
