Overview of Convergent Extension

Most recent studies have shown that Convergent Extension shares some biological mechanisms with axis-elongation, cell-adhesion, cell-differentiation, cell-division, cell-fate-specification, cell-migration, cell-motility, cell-proliferation, endocytosis, epiboly, gastrulation, initiation-of-neural-tube-closure, localization, mediolateral-intercalation, mesoderm-formation, neural-tube-closure, segmentation, somitogenesis, tube-closure, tube-formation.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Convergent Extension, and have been seen in publications frequently: axis-elongation, cell-adhesion, cell-differentiation, cell-division, cell-fate-specification, cell-migration, cell-motility, cell-proliferation, endocytosis, epiboly, gastrulation, initiation-of-neural-tube-closure, localization, mediolateral-intercalation, mesoderm-formation, neural-tube-closure, segmentation, somitogenesis, tube-closure, tube-formation

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Convergent Extension, such as ADAR, BMP1, CDC42, DVL1, FN1, FZD7, MAPK8, PGPEP1, PRCP, RHO, RHOA, Rhod, VANGL2, WNT11, WNT5A.
