Tissue surface mechanics constrains proliferation-driven forces to guide mammalian body axis elongation
2025-10-27
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian embryos undergo complex morphogenetic changes after implantation in the uterus. The elongation of the body along a head-to-tail axis is a pivotal event, as it lays the foundation of the body plan. While genetic and biochemical aspects of mammalian body elongation have been uncovered, the physical mechanism of axial morphogenesis remains unknown, largely due to the inaccessibility of the implanted embryo...
