Abstract excerpt
This study investigates the migration patterns of cranial neural crest cells in retinoic acid (RA)-treated rat embryos using DiI labeling. Wistar-Imamichi rat embryos were treated at the early (9.0 days post coitum, d.p.c.) and late (9.5 d.p.c.) neural plate stages with all-trans RA (2 x 10(-7) M...
