The neural crest and neural crest defects
Biomedical Reviews, 2002 The neural crest is a fascinating embryonic tissue for more than one reason. In the adult organism it gives rise to an array of distinct cell types and tissues.

, 1999 This 1999 edition of The Neural Crest contains comprehensive information about the neural crest, a structure unique to the vertebrate embryo, which has only a transient existence in early embryonic life. The ontogeny of the neural crest embodies the most

Incremental evolution of the neural crest, neural crest cells and neural crest‐derived skeletal tissues [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2012 AbstractUrochordates (ascidians) have recently supplanted cephalochordates (amphioxus) as the extant sister taxon of vertebrates. Given that urochordates possess migratory cells that have been classified as ‘neural crest‐like’– and that cephalochordates lack such cells – this phylogenetic hypothesis may have significant implications with respect to the

Xenopus Nkx6.3 is a neural plate border specifier required for neural crest development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In vertebrates, the neural plate border (NPB) is established by a group of transcription factors including Dlx3, Msx1 and Zic1. The crosstalk between these NPB specifiers governs the separation of the NPB region into placode and neural crest (NC ...

RNA-binding protein Elavl1/HuR is required for maintenance of cranial neural crest specification
eLife, 2022 While neural crest development is known to be transcriptionally controlled via sequential activation of gene regulatory networks (GRNs), recent evidence increasingly implicates a role for post-transcriptional regulation in modulating the output of these ...

Dual orexin and MCH neuron-ablated mice display severe sleep attacks and cataplexy
eLife, 2020 Orexin/hypocretin-producing and melanin-concentrating hormone-producing (MCH) neurons are co-extensive in the hypothalamus and project throughout the brain to regulate sleep/wakefulness.

Transcriptomic Identification of Draxin-Responsive Targets During Cranial Neural Crest EMT
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Canonical Wnt signaling plays an essential role in proper craniofacial morphogenesis, at least partially due to regulation of various aspects of cranial neural crest development.

Current Biology, 2003 It is generally accepted that the vertebrates evolved from protochordates ancestors, probably from an animal akin to modern day Amphioxus, a sessile filter feeder whose anatomical organisation is in many ways very similar to that of vertebrates. It has a dorsal nerve cord, a notochord, segmented muscle blocks and pharyngeal gill slits, but it lacks ...

DNA methyltransferase 3b is dispensable for mouse neural crest development.
PLoS ONE, 2012 The neural crest is a population of multipotent cells that migrates extensively throughout vertebrate embryos to form diverse structures. Mice mutant for the de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3b exhibit defects in two neural crest derivatives, the ...

Neuropilin 1 and 2 control cranial gangliogenesis and axon guidance through neural crest cells [PDF]
, 2008 Neuropilin (NRP) receptors and their class 3 semaphorin (SEMA3) ligands play well-established roles in axon guidance, with loss of NRP1, NRP2, SEMA3A or SEMA3F causing defasciculation and errors in growth cone guidance of peripherally projecting nerves ...
