Integrin-ECM interactions influence the morphodynamics of neuroblasts and their progenitors during embryonic development.
Real-time imaging revealed that neuroblast delamination is associated with changes in adhesion and morphometric states.
Marked heterogeneity in morphodynamics was observed among neuroblasts and their surrounding cells, affecting tissue patterning.
The study highlights how alterations in cell adhesion can impact cell shape and distribution in the neuroepithelium.
