  • Description: Directional cell migration is an intensively studied process relevant for both normal development of an organism as well as for a number of pathological conditions such as chronic inflammation and cancer. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) in Xenopus laevis embryos can be used as a model system to study cell migration, since during embryogenesis they actively migrate within the endoderm towards genital ridges. Transition to active cell migration is a highly regulated process important for the normal PGC development in many species. This study is focused on molecular and cellular mechanisms involv...
