## Abstract The neural crest is a transient population of multipotent progenitors arising at the lateral edge of the neural plate in vertebrate embryos. After delamination and migration from the neuroepithelium, these cells contribute to a diverse array of tissues including neurons, smooth muscle,
## Abstract Endothelin receptor B (Ednrb) plays a critical role in the development of melanocytes and neurons and glia of the enteric nervous system. These distinct neural crestβderived cell types express Ednrb and share the property of intercalating into tissues, such as the intestine whose muscle
The neural crest is a multipotent precursor population which ultimately generates much of the peripheral nervous system, epidermal pigment cells, and a variety of mesectodermal derivatives. Individual multipotent neural crest cells are capable of some self-renewing divisions, and based upon this cri
## Abstract Neural crest cells are a vertebrate innovation and form a wide variety of embryonic cell types as diverse as peripheral neurons and facial skeleton. They undergo complex migration and differentiation processes from their site of origin in the developing central nervous system to their f
Cultured amphibian neural crest cells in the early phases of migration (1-2 days) extend broad, clear cytoplasmic processes known as lobopodia. These regions exhibit rapid changes in the contraction-relaxation cycle and in substratum adhesion. Because of the putative role of Ca2+ in both cytoskeleta
