颅神经嵴细胞的迁移及特性

The cranial neural crest cells （CNCC） is a temporary migratory stem cell population specific to vertebrates that originates from the dorsal part of the developing neural tube.CNCC travel a long distance in the embryo and migrate precisely into the specific branch arches.During dorsolateral migration， CNCC may interact with and receive signals from multiple sources.CNCC contribute much of the bone， cartilage， neurons， and connective tissue that make up the developing head.The correct migration of CNCC is crucial for head development.The aim of this review is to highlight the process of CNCC migration and the characteristic of CNCC during migration.
