On being the right shape: Roles for motile cilia and cerebrospinal fluid flow in body and spine morphology.

Seminars in cell & developmental biology - 1 Feb 2021

Bearce Elizabeth A, Grimes Daniel T

Abstract excerpt

How developing and growing organisms attain their proper shape is a central problem of developmental biology. In this review, we investigate this question with respect to how the body axis and spine form in their characteristic linear head-to-tail fashion in vertebrates. Recent work in the zebrafish has implicated motile cilia and cerebrospinal fluid flow in axial morphogenesis and spinal straightness. We begin...
