A normally attractive cell interaction is repulsive in two C. elegans mesodermal cell migration mutants.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Nov 1991

Stern M J, Horvitz H R

Abstract excerpt

In wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites, two bilaterally symmetric sex myoblasts (SMs) migrate anteriorly to flank the precise center of the gonad, where they divide to generate the muscles required for egg laying (J. E. Sulston and H. R. Horvitz (1977) Devl Biol. 56, 110-156). Although this migration is largely independent of the gonad, a signal from the gonad attracts the SMs to their precise final...
