... of cells. This unresolved controversy has important implications for the formation of ectomesenchyme and for confirmation of whether the neural fold is compartmentalized into distinct domains, each with a different repertoire of derivatives. Here we report in mouse and chicken that cells in the neural fold...

...John Sechrist; M. Angela Nieto; Roham T. Zamanian; Marianne Bronner-Fraser ABSTRACT After unilateral ablation of the avian cranial neural folds, the remaining neuroepithelial cells are able to replace the missing neural crest population ( Scherson et al., 1993 ). Here, we characterize the cellular...

... cells with specific adhesiveness. During development, c-cad6B appeared in the neural fold, localizing at the future neural crest area. This expression was maintained during neural tube closure, but disappeared after neural crest cells had left the neural tube, suggesting its role in neural fold fusion...

...Gérard Couly; Nicole M. Le Douarin ABSTRACT The fate map of the early neural plate and neural fold has been established at the cephalic level by using the quail–chick marker system ( Le Douarin, 1969 , 1973 ). The experimental design comprised the replacement of definite territories belonging...
