Induced at the neural plate border, neural crest cells detach from the neuroepithelium and migrate extensively to different parts of the embryo and give rise to multiple tissue and organs including neurons and glia, bones and cartilage, and pigment cells. Both the behavior of neural crest cells and signaling molecules in neural crest development are similar to that of metastatic cancer. In fact, dysregulation of neural crest development results in multiple cancer, including neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, and melanoma. Through studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neural crest cell EMT and migration, we hope to gain insights into cancer metastasis.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EGeorgia Tech has been a leader in the development of collaborative approaches to both cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
