Open AccessDirect repression of MYB by ZEB1 suppresses proliferation and epithelial gene expression during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of breast cancer cells
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) promotes cell migration and is important in metastasis. Cellular proliferation is often downregulated during EMT, and the reverse transition (MET) in metastases appea...

Trans-mesenteric neural crest cells are the principal source of the colonic enteric nervous system
In this study, the authors show that, during the development of the enteric nervous system, a subset of enteric neural crest cells migrate from midgut across the mesentery to colonize caudal hindgut. This tran...

Contribution of Fibroblast and Mast Cell (Afferent) and Tumor (Efferent) IL-6 Effects within the Tumor Microenvironment
Hyperactive inflammatory responses following cancer initiation have led to cancer being described as a ‘wound that never heals’. These inflammatory responses elicit signals via NFκB leading to IL-6 production,...

Open AccessStaurosporine augments EGF-mediated EMT in PMC42-LA cells through actin depolymerisation, focal contact size reduction and Snail1 induction – A model for cross-modulation
A feature of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) relevant to tumour dissemination is the reorganization of actin cytoskeleton/focal contacts, influencing cellular ECM adherence and motility. This is cou...

Open AccessInduction of epithelial to mesenchymal transition in PMC42-LA human breast carcinoma cells by carcinoma-associated fibroblast secreted factors
Breast carcinoma is accompanied by changes in the acellular and cellular components of the microenvironment, the latter typified by a switch from fibroblasts to myofibroblasts.

Neural Crest and the Development of the Enteric Nervous System
The formation of the enteric nervous system (ENS) is a particularly interesting example of the migratory ability of the neural crest and of the complexity of structures to which neural crest cells contribute. ...

Differentiation of avian neural crest cells in vitro: Absence of a developmental bias toward melanogenesis
Neural crest cells from quail embryos grown in standard culture dishes differentiate almost entirely into melanocytes within 4 or 5 days when chick embryo extract (CEE) or occasional lots of fetal calf serum (...
