A new study suggests that stem cells thought to be dormant may offer clues to why our sense of smell declines or is lost.

Cardiac neural crest cells (NCs) contribute to heart morphogenesis by giving ... molecular mechanisms segregating these 2 populations and driving cardiac NC migration toward the heart have remained ...

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. The enzyme ...

has awarded a $3.8M grant to support the development of a next generation neural cell therapy candidate. “We’re grateful for the ongoing partnership with CIRM to help support the development of novel ...

Xenopus and zebrafish as a model system for Neural Crest cell migration Because of the remarkable migratory behaviour, the ease with which it is possible to work with this cell population and the ...

Neural crest cells exemplify cellular diversification from a multipotent ... of the GRN underlying neural crest fate diversification from induction to early migration stages using Xenopus frog embryos ...

The scales or bony scutes that you see on the body of many fish are made up of dentine, a hard tissue also found in human teeth. However, do you know that fish ancestors were soft-bodied animals ...

Observations of the distribution of the extracellular matrix (ECM) component fibronectin during the migration of loosely connected neural crest cells (NCCs) lead us to hypothesize that NCC remodeling ...

Figure 2. Cranial neural crest migration into the head. Time-lapse imaging of NC cell migration in zebrafish has shown that cranial NC cells from the diencephalon (green dashed lines and arrows) and ...

These experiments indicate alterations in LAMR contribute to neural crest cell migration failure in enteric nervous system development. The investigators think YIGSR maysselectively enhance neural ...

During development, neural crest cells, the precursors of neurons in ... Application of exogenous laminin-111 suppressed NCC migration in an organ culture model, whereas YIGSR, a laminin β1 ...
