Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population, hence are neither present after bith and nor are they readily accesible for analysis. Therefore, little is known about the genetic networks that regulate NC especification, delamitation and migration from the dorsal neural tube to their final destination along the embryo.
Delamination of neural crest cells requires transient and reversible Wnt inhibition mediated by Dact1/2.
