TL;DR: The observed movement patterns of anterior streak cells can be explained by an F GF8-mediated chemorepulsion of cells away from the streak followed by chemoattraction toward an FGF4 signal produced by the forming notochord.

TL;DR: PTEN modulates cell migration of mesoderm cells in the chick embryo through at least two distinct mechanisms: controlling EMT, which involves its protein phosphatase activity; and controlling the directional motility of mesmoderm cells, through its lipid phosphat enzyme activity.
