title: Regulation of trunk myogenesis by the neural crest: a new facet of neural crest-somite interactions.
abstract: It is well established that the somitic mesoderm regulates early stages of neural crest development and further segmentation of crest-derived peripheral ganglia. The possibility that neural crest progenitors feed back on the somites was, however, not explored. Two recent studies provide evidence that the neural crest regulates somite-derived myogenesis by distinct mechanisms.
