The potential of novel 3D matrices in the formation of cephalic skeletal tissues in vitro
KEY CONTENT: Key aspects of skeletogenesis have been demonstrated to occur in cranial neural crest (CNC) explants in 2D culture via the in vivo differentiation sequence. The mechanisms creating the characteristic 3D structure of the skull in vivo are also relatively well understood. The aim is to use existing knowledge to develop a 3D culture system employing a new scaffold technology supporting the production of normally organised components of the cranial skeleton. This proof of concept opens up the prospect of a wide range of potential applications in which the correct 3D organisation of cells is the key to success ...
