Altogether, these findings highlight the central role of Lkb1 during neural
crest cell lineage and uncovered a link between Lkb1 - mediated pyruvate - alanine cycling and glial commitment.
Not exact matches
The genes are likely to be expressed when
cells differentiate into neural
crest lineages, such as neurons or Schwann
cells, thereby enabling researchers to study the disease in a dish.
The identity of the
cells was further confirmed by
lineage tracing experiments, where the reprogrammed
cells were implanted in chicken embryos and acted just as neural
crest cells do.
Melanocyte
cells are specialized
cells that produce melanin pigment and arise from the neural
crest lineage.
