The neural crest is an amazing tissue that contributes to a wide variety of organs, so understanding its development may help us understand a large number of congenital human defects. Part of that ...

UD’s Wei gets $1.8 million in NIH support to study birth defects caused by genetic mutations Long before you were aware of anything or anyone even realized you were under construction, things were ...

Neural crest cells have been thought to originate in the ectoderm, the outermost of the three germ layers formed in the earliest stages of embryonic development. But their capacity to form derivatives ...

Neural stem cells can do a lot, but not everything. For example, brain and spinal cord cells are not usually generated by neural stem cells of the peripheral nervous system, and it is not possible to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Mesenchymal cell migration and neurite outgrowth are mediated in part by binding of cell surface β1,4-galactosyltransferase (GalTase) to ...

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside say they have developed a robust, fast, simple, and trackable method to generate neural crest cells. They believe their proposed technique can ...
