Beyond cell Adhesion: Exploring the Role of Cadherin-11 Extracellular Processing by ADAM Metalloproteases in Cranial Neural Crest Migration
The migration of the cranial neural crest is an essential part of cranio-facial development in every vertebrate embryo. The cranial neural crest (CNC) is a transient population of cells that forms the lateral border of the anterior neural plate. In the tailbud stage Xenopus embryo, the neural crest...
