Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple roles for endothelin in melanocyte development: Regulation of progenitor number and stimulation of differentiation
Kate Reid,Ann M. Turnley,Gerald D. Maxwell,Yukiko Kurihara,Hiroki Kurihara,Perry F. Bartlett,Mark Murphy +6 more
TL;DR: Two key roles for endothelin are indicated in melanocyte development: regulation of expansion of the progenitor pool and differentiation of progenitors into mature melanocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
BMP-2 and BMP-4, but Not BMP-6, Increase the Number of Adrenergic Cells Which Develop in Quail Trunk Neural Crest Cultures
Joel E. Varley,Gerald D. Maxwell +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis using bromodeoxyuridine labeling indicated that the increased numbers of TH-immunoreactive cells observed in the presence of B MP-2 and BMP-4 were not due to an increased rate of cell division in committed TH precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Number of adrenergic and islet-1 immunoreactive cells is increased in avian trunk neural crest cultures in the presence of human recombinant osteogenic protein-1.
TL;DR: The OP‐1‐mediated increase in adrenergic cell number most likely occurs as a result of the enhanced survival of a subpopulation of adrenergic precursors or an increase in their probability of Adrenergic differentiation, but not by increasing the mitotic rate of adren allergic precursor or adrenergic cells themselves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a novel enzymatic mechanism of neural crest cell migration on extracellular glycoconjugate matrices
TL;DR: Experiments show that neural crest cells have at least two distinct mechanisms for interacting with the substrate during migration, one that is fibronectin-dependent and one that uses GalTase recognition of basal lamina glycoconjugates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional synthesis of neurotransmitter candidates in the CNS of the moth Manduca sexta.
TL;DR: Synthesis and storage of relatively large amounts of 5-hydroxytryptamine, dopamine and octopamine in segmental ganglia suggests a prominent role for these substances in the function of these ganglia.
