... cell migration during embryonic development. We show that in Netrin mutants, two distinct populations of glial cells are affected: longitudinal glia (LG) fail to migrate medially in the early stages of neurogenesis, whereas distinct embryonic peripheral glia (ePG) do not properly migrate laterally...

... neural crest cells were labelled for both HNK1 and LSox5 ( Fig. 1M ), an early migratory cell population contained LSox5 alone. In the head, all the peripheral glia and most neurons in both the sensory and autonomic ganglia are lineages derived from the neural crest (reviewed by LeDourain...

... of the Actin cytoskeleton is an integral part of cell motility, yet the distribution of Actin in peripheral glial cell migration in vivo has not been previously characterized. To gain an understanding of how glia migrate, we specifically labeled the peripheral glia of Drosophila melanogaster using an Actin-GFP...
