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 ...

Initially, Dr. Barriga and his team began research on the neural crest at the former Gulbenkian Institute of Science (IGC) in Oeiras, Portugal before continuing research in Dresden, establishing a ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other ...

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 ...
