We examined the roles of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 and FGF-8 in the migration of mesencephalic mouse neural crest cells. Our in vitro migration assay has shown that FGF-2 (basic FGF) and FGF-8 have chemotactic activity for these cells. Chemotaxis was inhibited by anti-FGF-2 and anti-FGF-8 neu
## Abstract Neural crestβderived cells colonize the entire gastrointestinal tract. The migration of these enteric neural crestβderived cells (ENCCs) occurs by their formation of cellular strands that extend into the intestinal mesenchyme. We have studied the behavior of crest cells that underlies t
