Figure 3. Control of neural crest delamination and migration by the Warburg effect.
High glycolytic flux in the pre-migratory neural crest promotes the interaction of YAP and TEAD, leading to the activation of genes that promote epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). TAP/TEAD directly interact with tissue-specific enhancers to promote the EMT regulatory program (Adapted from Bhattacharya et al., 2020).
