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 changes in chromatin accessibility in neural crest cells are regulated by the miR-302 microRNA family, which is highly expressed in cranial neural crest cells," Keuls said.

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

When neural crest cells are soaked with a drug that forces them to metabolize oxygen, they don’t move as much (bottom) as cells that aren’t treated (top). Cell movements are tracked over 12 hours.
