Journal ArticleDOI
Pluripotent neural crest stem cells in the adult hair follicle.
TL;DR: The data show that the adult mouse whisker follicle contains pluripotent neural crest stem cells, termed epidermal neural crest cells (eNCSC), which are promising candidates for diverse cell therapy paradigms because of their high degree of inherent plasticity and due to their easy accessibility in the skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the neurotrophic factors BDNF and NGF in the commitment of pluripotent neural crest cells
TL;DR: The data suggest that BDNF, but not NGF, directs pluripotent neural crest cells to differentiate along the primary sensory neuron lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commitment of neural crest cells to the sensory neuron lineage
TL;DR: The data suggest a dual origin of spinal sensory neuroblasts and a predominantly late divergence of the autonomic and sensory lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
The adult hair follicle: Cradle for pluripotent neural crest stem cells
Maya Sieber-Blum,Milos Grim +1 more
TL;DR: It is determined by in vitro clonal analysis that the bulge area of the adult whisker follicle contains pluripotent neural crest stem cells, termed epidermal neural creststem cells (eNCSCs), and one newly identified neural crest derivative, the Merkel cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural crest origin of mammalian Merkel cells.
TL;DR: It is concluded that murine Merkel cells originate from the neural crest, after determining the ontogenetic origin of Merkel cells in Wnt1-cre/R26R compound transgenic mice, in which neural crest cells are marked indelibly.
