Title:	Genes that control cell migration during mouse development: from molecules to organisms
Creators Name:	Birchmeier, C.
Abstract:	Cell migration is an important and frequent process in development, and the molecules that control migration events have received much attention. Of particular interest is the molecular nature of signals responsible for the release of cells from their origin, for the maintenance of cellular motility, or for target finding. Tyrosine kinase receptors play important roles in migration processes in development and metastasis. I have reviewed here evidence from my laboratory that demonstrated that tyrosine kinase receptors implicated in tumorigenesis, like the c-ErbB or c-Met, turn out to control decisive steps in migration of embryonic cells in vivo.
