Cardiovascular Development and the Colonizing Cardiac Neural Crest Lineage by Paige Snider, Michael Olaopa, Anthony B. Firulli, Simon J. Conway

“…Combined, this suggests that either the cardiac neural crest secrete factor/s that regulate myocardial proliferation, can signal to the epicardium to subsequently secrete a growth factor/s, or may even contribute directly to the heart. Although there are species differences between mouse, chick, and Xenopus during cardiac neural crest cell morphogenesis, recent data suggest mouse and chick are more similar to each other than to the zebrafish neural crest cell lineage. …”
