Editing Morphogenesis (section)

* '''Morphogenesis''' — The biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape.
* '''Pattern Formation''' — The process by which embryonic cells "Form ordered structures" in space.
* '''Morphogen''' — A signaling molecule that flows through an embryo to tell cells "Where they are" and "What to build" based on its concentration.
* '''Apoptosis''' — "Programmed Cell Death" used to "Shape" the body (e.g., removing the tissue between fingers to make "Hands").
* '''Cell Migration''' — The movement of cells from one part of the embryo to another (the "Travel" phase of development).
* '''Cell Adhesion''' — The "Stickiness" of cells; how they "Recognize" and "Cling" to their neighbors to form "Sheets" or "Organs."
* '''Cadherins''' — The "Molecular Glue" proteins that help cells stick together.
* '''Polarity''' — The "Directional Sense" of a cell (which way is "Up," "Down," "Front," or "Back").
* '''Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)''' — A process where "Fixed" cells (Epithelial) become "Mobile" (Mesenchymal), allowing them to "Crawl" to new locations.
* '''The 'Hox' Genes''' — The "Master Switches" that define the "Body Plan" and ensure your "Legs" don't grow where your "Arms" should be.
