Eph and Ephrin function in dispersal and epithelial insertion of pigmented immunocytes in sea urchin embryos

Eph and Ephrin function in dispersal and epithelial insertion of pigmented immunocytes in sea urchin embryos

The mechanisms that underlie directional cell migration are incompletely understood. Eph receptors usually guide migrations of cells by exclusion from regions expressing Ephrin. In sea urchin embryos, pigmented immunocytes are specified in vegetal epithelium, transition to mesenchyme, migrate, and r...
