Neural Crest Cells • The cells of the neural crest migrate to generate many cell types: • the neurons and glial cells of the sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems; • the epinephrine-producing cell of the adrenal gland; • the melanocytes; • and many of the skeletal and connective tissue components of the head.

13.3 Neural crest cell migration in the trunk of the chick embryo (Part 1)
13.3 Neural crest cell migration in the trunk of the chick embryo (Part 2) 2-day chick embryo stained red with antibody to HNK-1 which selectively recognizes NC cells. Extensive staining is seen in the anterior part of each sclerotome.
13.3 Neural crest cell migration in the trunk of the chick embryo (Part 3) Cross sections through the chick embryo showing extensive migration through the anterior portion of the sclerotome (C), but (D) no migration through the posterior portion.
13.4 All migrating neural crest cells are stained red by antibody to HNK-1 • What signals initiate migration? • When does the migratory agent become competent to respond to these signals? • How do the migratory agents know the route to travel? • What signals indicate that the destination has been reached? Wnt and FGF BMP4 and BMP7 Slug and RhoB
