摘要: Neural crest cells are multipotent stem cell-like precursors that give rise to many different cell types in the developing embryo. In her Perspective, Bronner-Fraser discusses new research ( Lee et al.) identifies Wnt signaling pathway as developmental instruction directing neural become sensory neurons.
