Vertebrate gastrulation: calcium waves orchestrate cell movements.

Tada M , Concha ML .


???displayArticle.abstract???
A recent study reveals that the propagation of intercellular calcium signals is closely associated with the generation of convergent extension movements during Xenopus gastrulation. Such signals provide a mechanism whereby large populations of cells can communicate to generate orchestrated cell movements.
