This is a picture of chicken embryos. On the left, unoperated. The right two frames show degrees of synophthalmia and holoprosencephaly (with reduction of forebrain tissue) in cephalic neural crest-ablated subjects. The forebrain territory itself had not been operated. This demonstrates that neural crest cells are vital to the survival of the telencephalon and much of the diencephalon. The effect is a phenocopy of interfering with the Sonic hedgehog signaling cascade either through gene mutations or teratogen exposure.

Conference organization

Organizer : “ The congenital giant nevus : research and treatment. ” Satellite symposium for the 18th International Pigment Cell Conference, Egmond-aan-See (Pays-Bas), 13-sept-2002

Session moderator, scientific committee : « Congrès Jeunes Chercheurs de l’Université Paris V», Paris, 19-oct-2005

Moderator, scientific committee : « Naevus Géant Congénital, les soins et la recherche associée » Marne-la-Vallée, 12-nov-2005



This is a picture of chicken embryos. On the left, unoperated. The right two frames show degrees of synophthalmia and holoprosencephaly (with reduction of forebrain tissue) in cephalic neural crest-ablated subjects. The forebrain territory itself had not been operated. This demonstrates that neural crest cells are vital to the survival of the telencephalon and much of the diencephalon. The effect is a phenocopy of interfering with the Sonic hedgehog signaling cascade either through gene mutations or teratogen exposure. No one cites this work very much because a colleague at the time carried it further and published in 2004. I just posted it so I could copy the link over to my blog.
