Neural Crest; Ganglion ridge; Neural crest cell; Neural crest cells; Neural-crest; Neural Crest Cells; Neural crest cell migration; Neural crests
Neural crest cells are a temporary group of cells unique to vertebrates that arise from the embryonic ectoderm germ layer, and in turn give rise to a diverse cell lineage—including melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, peripheral and enteric neurons and glia.
