DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Proper control of cell migration and cell polarity is essential for proper vertebrate development. Inappropriate activation of developmental programs in an adult is linked to metastasis during tumor progression. Also, loss of proper cell migration during early development can lead to birth defect such as neural tube defects, including spina bifida. Thus, this proposal focuses on the establishment of cell polarity and cell migration during early development. A better understanding of the molecular control of cell migration during development, should lead to a better understanding of the root causes of birth defects and the mechanism of metastasis, and hopefully will aid in the prevention or treatment of these conditions.

描述（由申请人提供）：适当控制细胞迁移和细胞极性对于脊椎动物的正常发育至关重要。成人发育程序的不适当激活与肿瘤进展期间的转移有关。此外，在早期发育过程中失去适当的细胞迁移可能导致出生缺陷，如神经管缺陷，包括脊柱裂。因此，该建议侧重于在早期发育过程中建立细胞极性和细胞迁移。更好地了解发育过程中细胞迁移的分子控制，应能更好地了解出生缺陷的根本原因和转移机制，并有望有助于预防或治疗这些疾病。
