Synonyms: neural crest migrating cells, migratory neural crest cells, NCMC, migratory neural crest
Definition: "Neural crest that lose their connections to other neuroepithelial cells during the delamination process and begin to migrate. This involves either partial or complete epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Numerous molecules have been demonstrated to guide a neural crest cell's migration to its target tissue."
