Neural crest cells emigrate from cranial neural folds in embryos or when placed in culture. This provides a convenient method to isolate primary migratory neural crest cells without cell dissociation. While neural crest migration typically occurs

This versatile protocol describes the isolation of premigratory neural crest cells (NCCs) through the excision of cranial neural folds from chick embryos. Upon plating and incubation, migratory NCCs emerge from neural fold explants, allowing for assessment of cell morphology and migration in a simplified 2D environment.
