COLEC12 and TRAIL signaling confine cranial neural crest cell trajectories and promote collective cell migration by McLennan, R, Giniunaite, R, Hildebrand, K, Teddy, J, Kasemeier-Kulesa, J, Bolsanos, L, Baker, R, Maini, P, Kulesa, P

“…This guided our study of Colec12 (Collectin-12, a transmembrane scavenger receptor C-type lectin) and Trail (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, CD253) which we show expressed in chick cranial NCC-free zones. NCC trajectories are confined by Colec12 or Trail protein stripes in vitro and show significant and distinct changes in cell morphology and dynamic migratory characteristics when cocultured with either protein. …”
