Assembling neural crest regulatory circuits into a gene regulatory network.

Journal article

The neural crest is a multipotent stem celland#x2013;like population that gives rise to a wide range of derivatives in the vertebrate embryo including elements of the craniofacial skeleton and peripheral nervous system as well as melanocytes. The neural crest forms in a series of regulatory steps that include induction and specification of the prospective neural crest territoryand#x2013;neural plate border, specification of bona fide neural crest progenitors, and differentiation into diverse ...
