{"product_id":"evolving-neural-crest-cells","title":"Evolving Neural Crest Cells","description":"\u003cp\u003eVertebrates possess lineage-specific characteristics. These include paired anterior sense organs and a robust, modular head skeleton built of cellular cartilage and bone. All of these structures are derived, at least partly, from an embryonic tissue unique vertebrates - the neural crest. The evolutionary history of the neural crest, and neural crest cells, has been difficult to reconstruct. This volume will use a comparative approach to survey the development of the neural crest in vertebrates, and neural crest-like cells, across the metazoa. This information will be used to reveal neural crest evolution and identify the genomic, genetic, and gene-regulatory changes that drove them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey selling features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eSummarizes the data regarding neural crest cells and nerural crest derivatives\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUses a broad-based comparative approach\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuggests hypothesis that the origin of neural crest cells involved the novel co-activation of ancient metazoan gene programs in neural border cells\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIllustrates how the emergences of neural crest made possible the diversification of vertebrate heads\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542436864238,"sku":"9780367522742","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/evolving-neural-crest-cells","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
