This study shows that tissue architecture and cell adhesion determine the direction of collective cell delamination in Drosophila tumors.

The paper models EMT scenarios to show nuclear positioning and protrusions drive extrusion, suggesting a non-linear EMT process.

The paper shows that non-apical mitoses in the mouse gastrulation streak, driven by actomyosin relaxation and accelerated cell cycles, contribute to cell delamination, but not mesoderm identity.

The paper shows MMP28 from placodal cells promotes neural crest EMT and migration by entering the nucleus of neural crest cells in Xenopus.

The paper describes the expression pattern of MMP28 in Xenopus laevis embryos during cranial morphogenesis.

The paper uses a 2D agent-based model to study interkinetic nuclear movements in pseudostratified epithelia, showing they drive apical expansion and suggest apicobasal elongation requires a specific program.

The paper shows how in vivo topology transforms competition for cell-matrix adhesion into directional migration through Sdf1 and Sema3A interactions.

This study shows MMP14's basolateral localization drives apicobasal polarity changes during EMT independently of its catalytic activity in chick neural crest cells.
