Migrating mesoderm cells self-organize into a dynamic meshwork structure during chick gastrulation

Yukiko Nakaya, Mitsusuke Tarama, Sohei Tasaki…·Tatsuo Shibata

The paper shows mesoderm cells form a dynamic meshwork during chick gastrulation, supported by N-cadherin adhesion, which facilitates collective migration.

Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition Regulates Initiation of Pluripotency Exit before Gastrulation

Sofiane Hamidi, Yukiko Nakaya, Hiroki Nagai…·Guojun Sheng

The paper shows that pluripotent stem cells undergo a mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) before losing pluripotency, which is distinct from the gastrulation EMT and regulated by integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions.
