Neural crest cell migration during embryogenesis in zebrafish (IMAGE)
Caption
An illustration of zebrafish heart development, showing the migration of cells in the growing embryo after 17 hours, 1 day and 2 days to form the heart. Most heart cells come from the embryonic mesoderm (red) but some 15% come from the cardiac neural crest (green). Neural crest cells also migrate to and become part of the peripheral nervous system and head.
