After induction and specification in the ectoderm, at the border of the neural plate, the neural
crest (NC) population leaves its original territory through a delamination process. Soon …

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 …

Most connective tissues in the head develop from neural crest cells (NCCs), an embryonic
cell population present only in vertebrates. We show that NCC-derived pericytes and smooth …

The neural crest is a transient migratory population of stem cells derived from the dorsal
neural folds at the border between neural and non-neural ectoderm. Following induction …

Trunk neural crest cells are generated at the border between the neural plate and nonneural
ectoderm, where they initiate a distinct program of gene expression, undergo an epithelial …

sox10 is necessary for development of neural and pigment cell derivatives of the neural
crest (NC). However, whereas a direct role for Sox10 activity has been established in …

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 …

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 …

For both vertebrate developmental and evolutionary biologists, and also for clinicians, the
neural crest (NC) is a fundamental cell population. An understanding of Sox10 function in …

The transcription factors of the Sox family play important roles in diverse developmental
processes. A number of genetic studies have established that Sox10 is a major regulator of …
