Neural crest cells are stem cells that appear along the border of the neural plate early in development, destined to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types throughout the body. Because ...

Cell couplings before and after neural induction in embryos of Cynops orientalis were studied by means of single cell injection of Lucifer Yellow. Differences both in incidence and the extent of cell ...

Neuroepithelial cells are stem cells that differentiate into neurons and glia, essential components of the human central nervous system, following the process of neurogenesis. Also known as ...

Neural crest cells have been thought to originate in the ectoderm, the outermost of the three germ layers formed in the earliest stages of embryonic development. But their capacity to form derivatives ...

Researchers have conducted a detailed study of neurulation -- how the neural tube forms during embryonic development. They conclude that this happens less actively than previously thought. This also ...

"We were able to identify prospective neural crest cells in the epiblast of the chick blastula embryo," Garcia-Castro said. The epiblast is the tissue from which later in development the three germ ...

HOUSTON - (Oct. 17, 2019) - During embryonic development, the entire nervous system, the skin and the sensory organs emerge from a single sheet of cells known as the ectoderm. While there have been ...

In the human embryo, the neural tube forms between the 22nd and 26th day of pregnancy. Later, the brain and spinal cord will develop from this tube. The neural tube forms when an elongated flat tissue ...
