As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to ...

Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, ...

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

Recent research has significantly advanced our understanding of the biology of neural crest cells, particularly their differentiation, migration, and the regulatory networks that govern these ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The study explores how cranial neural crest cells, responsible for various head tissues, develop diverse abilities. By analyzing zebrafish, they found that these cells gradually gain access to ...

Note how cells within the cluster spread in the absence of EFs and the consistent anodal migration in the presence of EFs. Neural crest tagged with nuclear RFP (magenta) and membrane GFP (cyan).
