A new study suggests that neural crest cells are reprogrammed into tumor-forming cells, reshaping the understanding of this ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

The neural crest is an extraordinary population of multipotent stem cells, unique to vertebrates, that plays a pivotal role in embryogenesis. Arising at the borders of the neural plate, these cells ...

Neural crest cells -- embryonic pluripotent cells within the facial primordium -- may be necessary for forming proper animal facial structures. Researchers have produced neural crest cell-rich ...

Explore the function of genes involved in birth defects while developing skills in embryology, molecular biology, and developmental genomics. Intro text here... Abnormal neural crest cell development ...

The Wei lab is interested in the regulation of cell signaling and tissue homeostasis by metalloproteinases and other proteins in development and disease. Project 1. The mechanisms of neural crest ...

An uninjured (left) and injured adult zebrafish heart with neural crest cells labeled magenta. Note the neural crest cells activated around the edge of the injury in preparation for regenerating the ...

Biological cells process data and perform computations all the time. They take inputs in the form of external stimuli and produce specific responses. Recently, scientists have been looking at ways to ...

Microscope image of the heart of a 2-day-old zebrafish embryo with neural crest cells labeled green. The pumping chambers of the heart, the atrium and ventricle, are labeled.
