3.More subtle epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and formation of specialized tissues
Term

What can lead to craniofacial malformations?
Definition
Abnormalities in NCC formation, Proliferation, migration,
or differentiation can lead to craniofacial malformation

Definition
From ectoderm, the lateral region of the neural fold

They then migrate into BA and give rise to all different kinds of cells (lots of tissues affected by NCC)

Definition
has similar properties to mesenchyme. The origin of the ectomesenchyme is disputed whether it is like the mesenchyme, arose from mesodermic cells, or differently arose from neural crest cells[1] which are a critical group of cells that form in the cranial region during early vertebrate development. Thus, ectomesenchyme plays a critical role in the formation of the hard and soft tissues of the head and neck such as bones, muscles, teeth, and, most important, the branchial arches.
