Left/right asymmetric collective migration of parapineal cells is mediated by focal FGF signaling activity in leading cells [Developmental Biology]

The ability of cells to collectively interpret surrounding environmental signals underpins their capacity to coordinate their migration in various contexts, including embryonic development and cancer metastasis. One tractable model for studying collective migration is the parapineal, a left-sided group of neurons that arises from bilaterally positioned precursors that undergo a...
