In the December 5th edition of biobytes, Taroh Kinoshita (Osaka

University, Osaka, Japan) describes how GPI-anchored CRIPTO is released from the

cell surface (Lee et

al.), and Lisa Taneyhill (University of Maryland, College Park, MD)

explains how the intracellular domain of Cadherin 6B promotes neural crest cell

epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition  (Schiffmacher

et al.). Plus a round-up of other highlights from The Journal of

Cell Biology. The show was written and produced by Caitlin Sedwick and

Ben Short. Presented by Ben Short. See the associated papers in

JCB for details on the funding provided to support these

original research studies.
