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."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"issue":"21","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":" 139","doi":"10.1242/dev.073007","scopus_import":1,"acknowledgement":"M.T. is supported by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) and Royal Society and C.-P.H. by the Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and Institute of Science and Technology Austria.
