The long-standing model of pigment cell origins is implicitly based upon a progressive fate restriction model of neural crest development and postulates the existence of a partially restricted progenitor common to all pigment cell types (i.e., a chromatoblast) [38] .
Sodium is the fourth most abundant element on earth, comprising about 2.6% of the earth's crust; it is the most abundant of the alkali group of metals. It is now obtained commercially by the electrolysis of absolutely dry fused sodium chloride.
Sodium is a mineral found naturally in many foods, including fruits and vegetables. Your body needs some sodium to balance the amount of water in your cells and stimulate the production of nerve impulses and muscle contractions. The danger comes from consuming too much sodium.
