\t\t\tThe researchers’ findings shed new light on collective cell migration, a critical process in development and wound healing, but which is also inherent to the development of diseases such as cancer. Understanding more about how and why cells move the way they do can lead to valuable insights into how and why cancers occur and spread. <\/p>\n

The scientists looked at cells in the neural crest, a very mobile embryonic structure in vertebrates that gives rise to most of the peripheral nervous system and to other cell types in the cardiovascular system, pigment cells in the skin, and some bones, cartilage, and connective tissue in the head. <\/p>\n

They saw that, during development, these neural crest cells \u2018chase’ other types of cells \u2013 so-called placodal cells, which give rise to the sensory organs \u2013 which dash away when approached, thus propelling the cell sheet in a certain direction. <\/p>\n
