Abstract

During development, embryonic cells sculpt three-dimensional tissues. Although cell polarity is commonly analysed along one, and sometimes two, dimensions, this perspective illustrates how higher-order cell polarity regulates convergent extension - the coordinated cell rearrangement that produces solid tissue elongation.

摘要

在发育过程中，胚胎细胞塑造三维组织。尽管细胞极性通常沿着一个维度，有时沿着两个维度进行分析，但这种观点说明了高阶细胞极性如何调节汇聚延伸——产生实体组织伸长的协调细胞重排。
