Regulation of Trunk Myogenesis by the Neural Crest: A New Facet of Neural Crest-Somite Interactions

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

It is well established that the somitic mesoderm regulates early stages of neural crest development and further segmentation of crest-derived peripheral ganglia. The possibility that neural crest progenitors feed back on the somites was, however, not explored. Two recent studies provide evidence that the neural crest regulates somite-derived myogenesis by distinct mechanisms.
