Notch signalling defines dorsal root ganglia neuroglial fate choice during early neural crest cell migration.

We demonstrate active Notch signalling between neural crest progenitors as soon as trunk neural crest cells delaminate from the neural tube and during their early migration toward the site of the DRG. This data brings into question the timing of neuroglial fate specification in the DRG and suggest that it may occur much earlier than originally considered.
