Molecular determinants of neural crest migration

Abstract excerpt

Normal septation of the cardiac outflow tract requires migration of neural crest cells from the posterior rhombencephalon to the branchial arches and developing conotruncal endocardial cushions. Proper migration of these cells is mediated by a variety of molecular cues. Adhesion molecules, such as integrins, are involved in the interaction of neural crest cells with the extracellular matrix, while cadherins allow...
