Vertebrate neural crest cells and neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) may share a common evolutionary origin ! Checked out our latest paper in Nat Ecol Evol NatureEcoEvo ! nature.com/articles/s4155…

Great work shedding light on the evolutionary aspects of the links between NMPs and neural crest in line with recent work from our group (see: elifesciences.org/articles/74263…): nature.com/articles/s4155…

Ascidian embryonic cells with properties of neural-crest cells and neuromesodermal progenitors of vertebrates rdcu.be/dETT1

A cell population in the neural plate border region of embryos of ascidians has properties similar to those of the neural crest cells and neuromesodermal cells of vertebrates. nature.com/articles/s4155…
