By developing a technique for imaging the avian neural crest epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), we have discovered cellular behaviors that challenge current thinking on this important developmental event, including the probability that complete disassembly of the adherens junctions may not control whether or not a neural epithelial cell undergoes an EMT. Further, neural crest cells can adopt multiple modes of cell motility in order to emigrate from the neuroepithelium. We also gained insig ...[more]
