Molecular basis of cell migration in the fish lateral line: Role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and of its ligand, SDF1
20 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Cell migration plays an essential role in many morphogenetic processes, and its deregulation has many dramatic consequences. Yet how migration is controlled during normal development is still a largely unresolved question. We examined this process in the case of the posterior lateral line (PLL), a mechanosensory system present in fish and amphibians. In zebrafish, the embryonic PLL comprises seven to eight sense...
