text: Body axis elongation represents a common and fundamental morphogenetic process
in development. A key mechanism triggering body axis elongation without additional
growth is convergent extension (CE), whereby a tissue undergoes simultaneous narrowing
and extension. Both collective cell migration and cell intercalation are thought
to drive CE and are used to different degrees in various species as they elongate
their body axis. Here, we provide an overview of CE as a general strategy for
body axis elongation and discuss conserved and divergent mechanisms underlying
CE among different species.
