[ventrally emigrating neural tube cells] These cells are derived from the neural tube and emigrate from it. They originate from the ventral part of the cranial neural tube, emigrate at the exit/entry site of the cranial nerves, migrate in association with the nerves and populate their target tissues. VENT-cells differ from neural crest cells in that they emigrate considerably after the emigration of neural crest cells, and lack expression of the neural crest cell antigen HNK-1. VENT-cells are multipotent, differentiating into cell types belonging to all four basic tissues in the body (nerves, muscles, connective tissue, and epithelium) and have been shown to be a source of precursor cells
