Neural crest cells: Miniature electric muscles that colonize embryonic organs
Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what you look like: the pigments of your eyes, of your skin, and the bone structure of your face are all neural crests. Inside…
