Zebrafish have the rare ability to regenerate their heart muscle after major damage, unlike humans. Researchers have now ...

This study identifies key genes regulating neural crest functions in melanoma, revealing insights into collective migration ...

"We discovered that neural crest cells have the ability to turn into many different cell types because they have access to multiple developmental programs," Keuls said.

The image shows induced human neural crest cells. Human embryonic stem cells display neural crest characteristic expression after only five days of culture under WNT induction. Transcription ...

Neural crest cells: Embryonic, multipotent cells that migrate from the dorsal neural tube and give rise to a wide range of cell types. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition ...

Abnormal neural crest cell development is associated with numerous pathologies including craniofacial malformations such as cleft lip and cleft palate, rare syndromes, and aggressive cancer. These ...

In a recent study, Associate Professor Makoto Ikeya (Department of Clinical Application) and his team of researchers successfully established a method to generate jawbone-like organoids (mini-organs) ...

The neural crest cells are multipotent stem cells that give rise to craniofacial structures, cardiac tissues, pigment cells, the peripheral nervous system, and many other derivatives. Aberrant neural ...
