Although gap junctions are not known to be important in mediating cell-cell interactions amongst migratory cells, our studies showed that the connexin 43 (Cx43) gap junction gene is widely expressed in mouse neural crest cell lineages. Using in situ hybridization analysis, Cx43 expression was detect
We examined the roles of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 and FGF-8 in the migration of mesencephalic mouse neural crest cells. Our in vitro migration assay has shown that FGF-2 (basic FGF) and FGF-8 have chemotactic activity for these cells. Chemotaxis was inhibited by anti-FGF-2 and anti-FGF-8 neu
## Abstract Using gene targeting, we inserted a highβaffinity variant of the reverse tetracycline controlled transactivator (rtTA) into the genomic __Sox10__ locus. This rtTA transgene faithfully recapitulated Sox10 expression in the emerging neural crest, several of its derivatives, and in oligode
In situ hybridization reveals that RAR-Ξ² and RXR-Ξ³ genes in mesencephalic neural crest cultures are independently regulated. RAR-Ξ² transcripts are found in all cells, with a slight increase in signal/cell with time in culture. In contrast, the distribution of RXR-Ξ³ transcript is initially uniform bu
