has been shown to modulate WNT signaling and also to inhibit BMP signals; modulation of WNT signaling activity is brought about by an interaction with the WNT co-receptor LRP6, whereas BMP inhibition is by binding to BMP ligands, PCP pathway = the WNT/PCP signaling pathway controls tissue polarity and cell movement, PPR = pre-placodal region, N-cadherin = a protein involved with cell-cell adhesion, differentiation, embryogenesis, invasion, and signaling;

this HMG box is a DNA binding domain that is highly conserved throughout eukaryotic species, FGF = fibroblast growth factor, CXCR4 = receptor for SDF1α, ECM = extracellular matrix, SMAD pathway = a family of structurally similar proteins that are the main signal transducers for receptors of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily and which are critically important for regulating cell development and growth, PCP = planar cell polarity, AP-2α = a transcription factor that regulates cell migration and apoptosis", author = "Som, P.M.", abstract = "The epibranchial placodes combine with the neural crest to form the inferior and superior ganglia of the glossopharyngeal and vagal cranial nerves, respectively. By comparison, the single trigeminal ganglion is composed of both neural crest and placodal cells. The steps that lead up to these events include gastrulation and the embryology of the notochord, neural crest, and the placodes. Each of these steps is reviewed in some detail. In previous reviews in this series, the embryology related to the olfactory, otic, and lens placodes, and to the geniculate ganglia has been discussed.1-3 However, the somewhat unusual embryology of the 2 ganglia of cranial nerves IX and X was only briefly mentioned as was the development of the trigeminal ganglion.4 This present review revisits these events and specifically focuses on how these ganglia develop.Learning Objective: The reader will learn the unusual development of the superior and inferior glossopharyngeal and the vagal ganglia as well as review the varied steps in the embryology that proceeds these events. By comparison, the development of the single trigeminal ganglion is presented and the differences in its development from that of the ganglia of cranial nerves IX and X are emphasized.", }
