Evidence for partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and recruitment of motile blastoderm edge cells during avian epiboly

Embryonic epiboly has become an important developmental model for studying the mechanisms underlying collective movements of epithelial cells. In the last couple of decades, most studies of epiboly have utilized Xenopus or zebrafish as genetically tractable model organisms, while the avian epiboly m...
