Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

Researchers found that electric fields inside embryos guide migrating cells. The enzyme Vsp1 helps cells sense and respond to ...

Building and shaping an embryo requires the concerted effort of numerous signals and molecular interactions during development. One essential aspect of this process is collective cell migration, where ...

Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of the proximal thoracic aorta are derived from second heart field (SHF) and cardiac neural crest (CNC) lineages. Recent studies, both in vitro and in vivo, have implied ...

Nov. 1, 2024 — A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed ...
