Backtransplantation of chick cardiac neural crest cells cultured in LIF rescues heart development
1 Dec 1993
Abstract excerpt
The cardiac neural crest is essential for normal development of the cardiovascular system. Cardiac neural crest cells are derived from the neural folds located between the mid-otic placodes and the caudal limit of somite 3. These crest cells can differentiate into a variety of mesenchymal cell types that support cardiovascular development, in addition to neurogenic cells. When cultured, many express alpha-smooth...
