Researchers have successfully developed a stable population of neural crest cells derived from mice that can be grown in large quantities in the laboratory and that demonstrates the potential to ...

The origin of sensory ganglia in the developing peripheral nervous system can be traced to two transient embryonic cell populations: the neural crest and ectodermal placodes 1. Both cell types ...

Dinosaur fashion, like that of humans, is subject to interpretation. Bony cranial crests, horns or bumps may have served to woo mates or help members of the same species identify one another. While ...

The ability to take control of cells that give rise to the skull may be key to Zika virus’ crippling effects on infants’ brain. Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well ...

Dated to about 1.5 million years ago, the bones display a long robust thumb, short fingers and a mobile little finger, hinting at tool use and precision grips beyond the genus Homo.

New Rochelle, NY, September 19, 2012-- Researchers have successfully developed a stable population of neural crest cells derived from mice that can be grown in large quantities in the laboratory and ...

Cranial neural crest cells -- which give rise to the bones and cartilage of the skull -- are vulnerable to Zika virus. The discovery, made by infecting in vitro cultures of human cells, offers a ...
