Background: In vertebrate embryos, migration of trunk neural crest cells (NCC) proceeds mainly in two streams: a dorsoventral path between the neural tube and somites, and a dorsolateral one between somites and ectoderm. This last pathway is taken by melanocyte precursor cells (MPC) homing the skin,

Recent work has shown that segmentation underlies the patterning of the vertebrate hindbrain and its neural crest derivatives. Several genes have been identified with segment-restricted expression, and evidence is now emerging regarding their function and regulatory relationships. The expression pat
## Abstract The myelinating and nonmyelinating Schwann cells in peripheral nerves are derived from the neural crest, which is a transient and multipotent embryonic structure that also generates the other main glial subtypes of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Schwann cell development occurs thr
