This study identifies a dynein-driven microtubule-based mechanism for nuclear translocation in zebrafish neural crest cells during confined migration.

The paper investigates how neural crest cells adapt to physical confinement during migration in zebrafish embryos, finding that nuclear deformation occurs without DNA damage.

The paper shows that migratory identity and terminal differentiation of trunk neural crest cells are coordinated, with leader cells giving rise to distal derivatives and followers to Schwann cells.

This study shows Notch signaling controls cell cycle progression to define leader and follower identities during zebrafish Trunk Neural Crest migration.
