Abstract

Precise transcriptional control is crucial for specifying neural crest lineages. In a new study, Demurtas et al. investigate the role of the transcription factor SALL4 in cranial neural crest cell specification, revealing a role in enhancer regulation. To find out more, we spoke to first author Martina Demurtas and corresponding author Marco Trizzino, Associate Professor at Imperial College London, UK.
