Abstract excerpt
The derivatives of the neural crest are regionally specified with respect to the anterior-posterior axis of the avian embryo. We have shown previously that young Hensen's node can act in vitro to regulate the expression of certain region-specific phenotypes in trunk neural crest cells. To study potential factors acting on the neural crest, we have generated an immortalized cell line from young Hensen's node. Here...
