Cell Motility, Control and Function of Convergence and Extension during Gastrulation in Xenopus

In this paper we will discuss some recent work on the cell motility underlying the convergence and extension movements during gastrulation and neurulation of Xenopus laevis. We will also discuss some of the tissue interactions controlling this motility, and we will refine our previous ideas on how convergence and extension functions in gastrulation of Xenopus.
