The paper shows that active tissue expansion, driven by FGF signaling and HA production, propels vertebrate body elongation without relying on cell proliferation.

The paper quantifies cell motility gradients in the chicken embryo's Tail Bud and shows that mechano-chemical models explain body elongation.

The paper shows that Warburg-like metabolism in the posterior region of embryos coordinates FGF and Wnt signaling to promote embryonic axis elongation.
