The osteogenic potential of the neural crest lineage may contribute to craniosynostosis
Daniel H. Doro, Annie Liu, Agamemnon E. Grigoriadis, Karen J. Liu
This study compares the osteogenic potential of neural crest and mesodermal osteoblasts in mouse models, finding neural crest-derived cells more efficient at generating bony nodules and capable of nucleating ossification centres when co-cultured with mesodermal cells.
