| Research Abstract |
Among the neural crest cell (NCC) subtypes, I focus on the sympatho-adrenal progenitor cells (SA cells), the common progenitors giving rise to sympathetic neurons (S-cells) and adrenal medulla cells (A-cells). We found that the mechanism underling SA cells migration toward dorsal aorta (DA), and BMP, SDF and Neuregulin is involved in this process.
