✦ Synopsis

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 criteria can be considered stem cells. Considerable progress has been made in recent years toward understanding how this important population of progenitor cells is initially established in the early embryo, and how cell-intrinsic and non-cell-intrinsic factors mediate their subsequent lineage segregation and differentiation.

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,

A melanin-associated agent seems to play a role in regulating retinal development. When absent, diverse deficits occur. There is evidence that this agent regulates patterns of mitosis. This study examines retinal development in pigmented and albino rats to identify the regulating agent and its mode
