Aortic arch and pharyngeal phenotype in the absence of BMP-dependent neural crest in the mouse.

Abstract excerpt

Neural crest cells are essential for proper development of a variety of tissues and structures, including peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, facial skeleton, aortic arches and pharyngeal glands like the thymus and parathyroids. Previous work has shown that bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signalling is required for the production of migratory neural crest cells that contribute to the neurogenic and...
