Convergent extension: the molecular control of polarized cell movement during embryonic developmentJohn B Wallingford
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, 401 Barker Hall, University of California, Berkeley, 94720, USA
Dev Cell 2:695-706. 2002..Focusing on frogs and fish, we review the different cellular mechanisms and the well-conserved signaling pathways that underlie this process...
Neural tube closure requires Dishevelled-dependent convergent extension of the midlineJohn B Wallingford
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, 401 Barker Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
Development 129:5815-25. 2002..Together, these data demonstrate that PCP-mediated convergent extension movements are crucial to proper vertebrate neurulation...
Regulation of convergent extension in Xenopus by Wnt5a and Frizzled-8 is independent of the canonical Wnt pathwayJ B Wallingford
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley 94720, USA
Int J Dev Biol 45:225-7. 2001..This finding is important, as it highlights the promiscuity of upstream Wnt signaling components and further establishes an important role for non-canonical Wnt signaling in Xenopus morphogenesis...
Calcium signaling during convergent extension in XenopusJ B Wallingford
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, 401 Barker Hall, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
Curr Biol 11:652-61. 2001..We suggest that calcium waves may represent a widely used mechanism by which large groups of cells can coordinate complex cell movements...
Xenopus Dishevelled signaling regulates both neural and mesodermal convergent extension: parallel forces elongating the body axisJ B Wallingford
Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, 401 Barker Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
Development 128:2581-92. 2001....
Cell autonomous regulation of multiple Dishevelled-dependent pathways by mammalian NkdD Yan
Chiron Corporation, 4560 Horton Street, Emeryville, CA 94608, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:3802-7. 2001..These data suggest that mNkd may act as a switch to direct Dishevelled activity toward the PCP pathway, and away from the canonical Wnt pathway...
