Talk:Neural crest

Picture not so good
Picture doesn't really help much. Could do with another. -Username132 (talk) 23:02, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

It is also incorrect. It labels the ectoderm as the epidermis. TheTribeHasSpoken (talk) 05:54, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Neural crest derivatives
The neural crest derivatives I mentioned were removed. This is incorrect. Most are well established from chick and mammal studies. The neural crest can produce ectomesenchyme (not mesenchyme)and can give rise to all the cells I mentioned.GetAgrippa 19:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Neural crest distribution and contribution
This information can be merged into the four categories of neural crest cells. The article would be better organized and easier to read. I do not know enough about this subject to do this myself, but i'll try so somebody correct me if i'm wrong. --Eubanks718 03:52, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to whoever corrected the neural crest contribution to the lens. I was going from memory, which was anterior chamber and I thought I remembered images of neural crest migrating along the developing lens. I thought maybe inductive role like thymus. Anyways, my error and it is corrected. Any other contributions would be great to expand this subject.

Thanks Eubanks for being Bold and improving the Neural Crest article. It is an interesting subject due to the diverse contributions of these cells. This should be a fairly lengthy article. Lots of beautiful images to add, etc. GetAgrippa 20:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

History Section Maybe Useful
Do you think that a History section should be in order? Le Douarin, Kirby, etc. are notable names worthy of mention. Also description of neural crest in other vertebrates would be nice.GetAgrippa 20:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Induction
Hi all. First of all, how about changing the title of this section from "Induction" to "Molecular Regulation", as it seems to me to be a more precise term. Secondly, I think this section is currently much too brief, and nor properly organized and referenced. Would anyone be willing to collaborate with me on improving it? I need someone to peer-review whatever I write into this section before publishing. Let me know. Shiningheart (talk) 17:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Be Bold and improve this fascinating subject. I'll proof it. It should really be a much longer article. Regards GetAgrippa (talk) 03:47, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Adding In Situ Images of Neural Crest?
Hi all, I've worked in a lab that produced in situ images of neural crest cells in young chick embryos. Do you think it would be a good idea to add one of those images to the page? I took the pictures myself, so it would not be plagiaristic. --Immcarle5 (talk) 04:45, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Lead too technical?
I have a few questions about this article, and particularly the lead section. To me it seems very technical and doesn't provide a clear summary for a lay reader. I'm confused by the opening sentence stating that neural crest cells are "unique to chordates of the group Cristozoa that arise from the embryonic ectoderm cell layer" - is this correct? This Encyclopaedia Britannica article reads more as I would expect to find here, with a focus on the neural crest in the human body, it seems slightly different things are being talked about? - Beevil (talk) 11:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Neural crest cells and domestication syndrome
Can someone add the relation between the two? Thanks. --Enigma55 (talk) 19:40, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

I support you; can anybody add a phrase linking to the wiki article “Domestication Syndrome” (in Mammals: A Unified Explanation Based on Neural Crest Cell Behavior and Genetics). https://academic.oup.com/genetics/article/197/3/795/5935921 - I’m writing this on my mobile phone and I don’t have all the features for interlinking and writing comfortably :) cheers SvenAERTS (talk) 10:01, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
