• Multicellular rosette formation links planar cell polarity to tissue morphogenesis. (2006, background): “A common mechanism for elongation of epithelial and mesenchymal tissues is cell intercalation, in which oriented cell movements cause a tissue to narrow in one dimension and lengthen in a perpendicular dimension (Keller et al., 2000; Wallingford et al., 2002; Nikolaidou and Barrett, 2005; Solnica-Kr”
• Coactivation of Rac and Rho by Wnt/Frizzled signaling is required for vertebrate gastrulation. (2003, background): “…in vertebrates is the so-called convergent extension (CE) movement, in which cells polarize and elongate along the mediolateral axis and intercalate towards the midline (convergence), leading to the extension of the anterioposterior axis (extension; Shih and Keller 1992; Wallingford et al. 2002).”
