Embryonic axes: the long and short of it in the mouse
Abstract
Contrary to conventional wisdom, recent studies indicate that, during mouse development, the embryo's anterior-posterior axis shifts from the shorter transverse axis to the orthogonal longer one as the shape of the pre-gastrula-stage embryo is remodelled.

The anterior-posterior axis emerges respecting the morphology of the mouse embryo that changes and aligns with the uterus before gastrulation.Curr Biol. 2004 Feb 3;14(3):184-96. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2004.01.026. Curr Biol. 2004. PMID: 14761650

Initiation of gastrulation in the mouse embryo is preceded by an apparent shift in the orientation of the anterior-posterior axis.Curr Biol. 2004 Feb 3;14(3):197-207. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2004.01.030. Curr Biol. 2004. PMID: 14761651
