and demonstrated that this current can guide migration of a cell population known as the neural crest," highlights Dr. Elias H. Barriga, the corresponding author who led the study published in ...

A n international team of researchers has identified a key genetic mechanism that regulates the formation and migration of cranial neural crest cells, which are essential for developing facial ...

which requires a long-term cell culture and subsequent cell transplantation into host animals. We aim to establish an in vivo directed reprogramming technology with neural crest cells as a model.

Intro text here... Abnormal neural crest cell development is associated with numerous pathologies including craniofacial malformations such as cleft lip and cleft palate, rare syndromes, and ...

Specific approaches may include elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of development, differentiation, regeneration, target recognition, and migration of neurons (components of neural networks) and ...
