Check out this work from @yuritakahashi.bsky.social that reveals reciprocal interactions between cell migration and fate specific to drive collective cell invasion. And follow Yuri at the same time
Hi bsky!
How do cells coordinate fate with migration during development? 🐣 Turns out EMT doesn't just drive cell behaviour changes... it actively primes BMP signalling competence, creating a reciprocal coupling that drives collective invasion!
