Summary Introduction

To review:

Whether the cranial neural crest cells located more centrally within the collective stream and differ in pattern from the cells present in the periphery or the specification of the cells is correlated with the spatiotemporal positioning of the cells.

Introduction:

The head is the most important part of the vertebrate body, comprising face and skull. The head formation is largely accompanied by the cranial neural crest cells. Jaws, facial cartilage and teeth are the product of evolution which occurs via the changes in the placement of these cells. The cranial neural crest is a combination of cells in different stages of commitment, with 10% of the population is multipotent progenitor cells. This small population can differentiate into neurons, glia, melanocytes, cartilage, muscle cells and bone. The migration of these cells is assisted by the segmentation of hindbrain.
