A University of Toronto study reveals that neural crest stem cells, found in the skin and other areas, are responsible for the generation of reprogrammed neurons, contradicting the prevailing theory ...

Additional features include coverage of advances in our understanding of neural crest cell subpopulation markers, cell lineage analysis, and the introduction of molecular biology to neural crest ...

Researchers found that neural crest stem cells are uniquely capable of reprogramming, challenging current reprogramming theories and opening possibilities for stem cell-based treatments. A research ...

Neural crest cells, which can be found below the hair follicle in the skin, are genetically predisposed to develop into ...

To investigate this possibility in a controlled experimental situation, cranial neural crest explant cultures were exposed to different concentrations of ISO (2 and 20 ug/ml medium) and cell ...

They specifically looked at genes regulating a stem cell population called the neural crest, which is only found in ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

In this valuable study, the authors used an elegant genetic approach to delete EED at the post-neural crest induction stage. The usage of the single-cell RNA-seq analysis method is extremely suitable ...

A recent study explores how MYCN-driven neuroblastoma hijacks the m6A modification process to prevent proper cell ...

Apr. 11, 2024 — Neural crest cells -- embryonic pluripotent cells within the facial primordium -- may be necessary for forming proper animal facial structures. Researchers have produced neural ...

“Neural crest stem cells may have gone unnoticed by others studying cell reprogramming because, while they are widespread throughout the body, they are also rare,” said Derek van der Kooy ...
