To investigate this possibility in a controlled experimental situation, cranial neural crest explant cultures were exposed to different concentrations of ISO (2 and 20 ug/ml medium) and cell ...

This gave rise to epidermal cells, and cranial neural crest cells, which gave rise to cells of the dermis in the face. After the cells grew for 70 days as spherical aggregates, the first hair ...

Right panels: Lab-grown cortical interneurons from human pluripotent stem cells are tools to study psychiatric disorders. Specific functional, electric firing properties of those neurons are shown by ...

Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Additionally, the team used animal models, including mice and chicken embryos, to observe in vivo how ZIC2 regulates the migration of neural crest cells and to examine the defects associated with ...
