How Mesp1 makes a move

The transcription factors Mesp1 and Mesp2 have essential roles in the migration and specification of multipotent progenitor cells at the onset of cardiogenesis. Chiapparo et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201505082) identify common Mesp functions in fate specification and Mesp1-specific targets controlling the speed and direction of progenitor cell migration.
