Neural crest cells: a model for invasive behavior.

The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology - 1 Feb 2004

Tucker Richard P

Abstract excerpt

Neural crest cells are the embryonic precursors of the neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system, pigment cells, and connective tissue in the face, neck and heart. They are induced near the junction of the neural plate and embryonic ectoderm and undergo an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Neural crest cells then display invasive behavior and migrate into the surrounding tissues along specific...
