Mathematical modeling predicts novel mechanisms of stream confinement from Trail/Colec12/Dan in the collective migration of cranial neural crest cells

|
By Samuel Johnson, Paul M Kulesa, Ruth Baker, Philip K. Maini
| Wiley Online Library Verified
1 INTRODUCTION The collective migration of cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) is a crucial process in vertebrate development that leads to the formation of bone, cartilage, and connective tissues of the face.1, 2 During embryogenesis, CNCCs emerge from the hindbrain (rhombomere [r] segments r1–7) and migrate dorsolaterally in discrete streams towards the branchial arches (ba1–4), where subsequent cell proliferation and patterning occur.

Modularity of the segmentation clock and morphogenesis

|
By James Hammond, Ruth Baker, Berta Verd, Emmanuel U. Akabuogu
| eLife
eLife Assessment This valuable manuscript uses mathematical modeling to address the synchrony of the vertebrate segmentation clock with the developmental processes. The authors use convincing arguments to support the idea that this would allow the evolution of flexible body plans and a variable number of segments. This manuscript could be of interest to developmental biologists and systems biologists.

Mathematical modelling predicts novel mechanisms of stream confinement from Trail/Colec12/Dan in the collective migration of cranial neural crest cells

Abstract In vertebrate embryogenesis, cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) migrate along discrete pathways. Analyses in the chick have identified key molecular candidates for the confinement of CNCC migration to stereotypical pathways as Colec12, Trail, and Dan. The effects of these factors on CNCCs in vitro are known, but how they confine migration to discrete streams in vivo remains poorly-understood.
