| Research Abstract |
We identified the up-regulated genes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by utilizing the embryonic stem cells and mice, where the expression of Sox10 can be visualized with a fluorescent protein. Among these genes, we found the transcription factors that enhanced EMT. In addition, we found that glycoprotein Galectin-1 enhanced neural crest cell generation.
