Cadherin-11 mediates contact inhibition of locomotion during Xenopus neural crest cell migration.

Collective cell migration is an essential feature both in embryonic development and cancer progression. The molecular mechanisms of these coordinated directional cell movements still need to be elucidated. The migration of cranial neural crest (CNC) cells during embryogenesis is an excellent model f...
