The neural crest (NC) yields pluripotent cells endowed with migratory properties. They give rise to neurons, glia, melanocytes and endocrine cells, and to diverse 'mesenchymal' derivatives.… (More)

The neural crest of vertebrate embryos gives rise to a variety of differentiated cell types, including neuronal and non-neuronal cells of peripheral ganglia (sensory and autonomic), pigment cells,… (More)
In the vertebrate embryo, the neural crest forms transiently in the dorsal neural primordium to yield migratory cells that will invade nearly all tissues and later, will differentiate into bones and… (More)

In the vertebrate embryo, the cephalic neural crest cells (CNCCs) produce cells belonging to two main lineages: the neural [including neurons, glial cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), and… (More)

In vertebrates, trunk neural crest (NC) generates glia, neurons, and melanocytes. In addition, it yields mesectodermal derivatives (connective tissues, chondrocytes, and myofibroblasts lining the… (More)
Embryonic 4- to 15-day-old quail ciliary ganglia (CG) were grafted into the neural crest migration pathway of 2-day-old chick embryos at the adrenomedullary level of the neural axis. This… (More)
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions are crucial for the development of the endoderm of the pharyngeal pouches into the epithelia of thymus and parathyroid glands. Here we investigated the dynamics of… (More)

Functional signaling of endothelin 3 (ET3) and its receptor B (ETRB) has been shown to be required for the development of neural crest (NC)-derived pigment cells in mouse, but the precise role of ET3… (More)

In the vertebrate embryo, Schwann cells lining the peripheral nerves originate from the neural crest (NC), a structure that also gives rise to ganglion satellite cells, most of the neurons of the… (More)
This article addresses the problem of the segregation of cell lines during the development of peripheral nervous system components from the neural crest. We show here that committed precursors of… (More)
