A somatic piRNA pathway regulates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of chick neural crest cells

Riley Galton, Katalin Fejes Tóth, Marianne E. Bronner-Fraser

This study shows that the piRNA pathway, via Piwil1, regulates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in chick neural crest cells by controlling Sox2 expression.
