We have described the clinical manifestations of isotretinoin (ISO) neuroembryopathy (J Ped, 105, 595, 1984) and with others have suggested that disturbances in neural crest development may ...

Researchers found that electric fields inside embryos guide migrating cells. The enzyme Vsp1 helps cells sense and respond to ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) develops from neural crest cells which originate from the neuroectoderm. Based on the scientific hypothesis that the ...

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

Cranial neural crest cells give rise to ectomesenchymal derivatives such as cranial bones, cartilage, smooth muscle, dentin, as well as melanocytes, corneal endothelial cells, and neurons and glial ...

Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, essential for forming facial bones and the nervous system.

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other ...

Select the journal/section where you want your idea to be submitted: The neural crest cells (NCC) constitute an ephemeral population accurately migrating and invading with precision defined sites of ...

The Gabsang Lee Lab focuses on the neural crest lineage and skeletal muscle tissue, in terms of their fate-determination processes as well as relevant genetic disorders. Previously, we studied a human ...

The ZIC2 gene drives the migration of neural crest cells (in green) during early embryonic stages, a process essential for forming the vertebrate nervous system. Credit: The American Journal of ...
