This image shows a mass of human stem cells, collectively known as an ‘organoid’.
We stained the neural crest cells of this organoid to better understand diseases related to defects in their development, such as Hirschsprung's disease and Neuroblastoma.

Interested in how the craniofacial system develops after birth in laboratory minipig and domestic pig models? In brief, similar at birth but divergent ontogenetically! Check royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
