The 25 pages that link to Neural crest, each with the reason it gives.

• VertebrateRelated: Its evolutionary emergence contributed to vertebrate craniofacial complexity.

• MelanocyteNarrower topic: Most skin melanocytes descend from neural crest cells.

• Dermal boneRelated: Neural crest cells contribute to many dermal bones of the face and skull.

• Adrenal cortexCompared with: The medulla derives from neural crest, unlike the cortex's mesodermal lineage.

• Epithelial–mesenchymal transitionBroader topic: Neural crest cells undergo EMT as they leave the developing neural tube.

• NeurulationRelated: Neural crest cells separate from the closing neural folds and migrate through the embryo.

• Adrenal medullaRelated: Medullary chromaffin cells descend from neural crest cells.

• MesodermCompared with: Some connective and skeletal tissues have neural crest origins rather than mesodermal ones.

• Neural tube defectRelated: It develops alongside neural tube closure but is distinct from the tube itself.

• Pharyngeal archNarrower topic: Neural crest cells migrate into the arches and form much of their connective tissue and cartilage.

• Adrenal glandNarrower topic: Medullary chromaffin cells descend from neural crest cells.

• Jawless fishRelated: Comparisons of its development help explain how vertebrate heads evolved before jaws.

• NeurodevelopmentBroader topic: Its derivatives show that nervous-system development extends beyond the neural tube.

• Chromaffin cellsNarrower topic: Chromaffin cells develop from neural crest-derived progenitors.

• Limb developmentRelated: Unlike much limb connective tissue, neural crest cells do not form the limb skeleton.

• CHARGE syndromeRelated: CHD7-dependent development affects neural crest contributions to structures implicated in CHARGE.

• Cleft palateRelated: Neural crest-derived tissue contributes to the facial structures that form the palate.

• Early vertebrateRelated: Its evolutionary emergence helped enable the complex head anatomy seen in vertebrates.

• Dermal denticleRelated: Neural crest-derived cells contribute to the denticle-forming tissues of cartilaginous fishes.

• Hirschsprung diseaseRelated: Enteric nerve cells normally migrate from neural crest into the developing bowel.

• Waardenburg syndromeNarrower topic: Neural crest development links pigment-cell abnormalities with hearing and facial features in several forms.

• NevusRelated: Melanocytes originate from neural crest cells during development.

• Head (anatomy)Related: Its descendants build many distinctive structures of the vertebrate head.

• Chromaffin SystemNarrower topic: Chromaffin cells develop from neural crest-derived sympathoadrenal precursors.

• Treacher Collins syndromeRelated: Disrupted development of neural crest cells is central to the facial differences in this syndrome.
