Convergent extension requires adhesion-dependent biomechanical integration of cell crawling and junction contraction

2021-01-12

Abstract excerpt

Convergent extension is an evolutionarily conserved collective cell movement that elongates the body axis of almost all animals and is required for the morphogenesis of several organ systems. Decades of study have revealed two distinct mechanisms of cell movement during CE, one based on cell crawling and the other on junction contraction. How these two behaviors collaborate during CE is not understood. Here, using...
