This work demonstrates that during avian gastrulation, Hoxb genes are first activated in a temporal collinear fashion in the paraxial mesoderm precursors located in the epiblast lateral to the primitive streak. This collinear activation of Hoxb genes regulates the flow of cells through the streak during the process of internalization.

The Bmp gradient of the zebrafish gastrula guides migrating lateral cells by regulating cell-cell adhesion. Curr Biol 17 (2007) 475-487. This study demonstrates that a ventral-to-dorsal gradient of BMP signaling in the zebrafish gastrula controls lateral mesoderm progenitor cell migration during dorsal convergence by generating a dorsal-to-ventral gradient of cadherin activity.

Curr Biol 18 (2008) 276-281. This work reveals that during zebrafish gastrulation the internalized endodermal precursors engage in a random walk to begin to form the most internal, endodermal layer of the embryo. This type of directed nonoriented migration differs from directed migration of individual mesodermal cells, and from early gastrulation movements of the ectodermal precursors, which move as a sheet.
