unrelated defects may be the result of a common mechanism: altered neural crest cell migration. Further embryonic and genetic experimentation will likely clarify the role of the neural crest cell at the various levels of cardiac development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
