We have described the clinical manifestations of isotretinoin (ISO) neuroembryopathy (J Ped, 105, 595, 1984) and with others have suggested that disturbances in neural crest development may ...

Human ES cells can now be used to induce structures with regionalized maxillary and mandibular primordia through the neural crest cell state, allowing for the recapitulation of jaw development in ...

Physical cues in the womb, and not just genetics, influence the normal development of neural crest cells, the embryonic stem cells that form facial features, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

This gave rise to epidermal cells, and cranial neural crest cells, which gave rise to cells of the dermis in the face. After the cells grew for 70 days as spherical aggregates, the first hair ...
