Sox transcription factors play many diverse roles during development, including regulating
stem cell states, directing differentiation, and influencing the local chromatin landscape. Of …

The neural crest is a vertebrate-specific migratory stem cell population that generates a
remarkably diverse set of cell types and structures. Because many of the morphological …

In the nervous system, myelination of axons enables rapid impulse conduction and is a
specialized function of glial cells. Myelinating glia are the last cell type to emerge in the …

The neural crest is a vertebrate-specific embryonic stem cell population that gives rise to a
vast array of cell types throughout the animal body plan. These cells are first born at the …

Neural crest (NC) cells are a stem‐like multipotent population of progenitor cells that are
present in vertebrate embryos, traveling to various regions in the developing organism …

The neural crest is an ectodermal cell population that gives rise to over 30 cell types during
vertebrate embryogenesis. These stem cells are formed at the border of the developing …

Neural crest cells are central to vertebrate development and evolution, endowing
vertebrates with a “new head” that resulted in morphological, physiological, and behavioral …

Simple Summary Neural crest cells are unique to vertebrates and migrate long distances
throughout the embryo and give rise to many cell and tissue types, including bone, cartilage …

The evolution of the jaw represents a key innovation in driving the diversification of
vertebrate body plans and behavior. The pharyngeal apparatus originated as gill bars …

The neural crest is a stem cell population unique to vertebrate embryos that gives rise to
derivatives from multiple embryonic germ layers. The molecular underpinnings of potency …
