1. Neural crest cells will eventually become portions of the peripheral nervous system.2. Then neural crest cells migrate to form various parts of the body. 3. NRG1 plays important roles in the development of neural crest derivatives. 4. The cardiac neural crest also contributes the smooth muscle of the great arteries. 5. One project focuses on characterizing the structures involved with neural crest cell movements. 6. She showed that precursor cells within the neural crest were multipotent. 7. Paraganglionic tissue is derived from the neural crest cells present in an embryo. 8. The pigment cells, called chromatophores, are derived from the neural crest . 9. In the peripheral nervous system, glia derive from the neural crest . 10. Experimental evidence places these transcription factors upstream of neural crest specifiers.
