A cell cycle process that sets the alignment of mitotic spindle relative to other cellular structures.

Coordinated organization of groups of cells in the plane of an epithelium, such that they all orient to similar coordinates.

The characteristic movement of an immature neuron from germinal zones to specific positions where they will reside as they mature.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the vasculature over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The vasculature is an interconnected tubular multi-tissue structure that contains fluid that is actively transported around the organism.

The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population.

The formation of the neural tube by coalescence of mesenchymal cells followed by their conversion to epithelial cells to form a solid cord that subsequently hollows out (cavitates) to create a hollow tube. Secondary neurulation is the typical mechanism of formation of the neural tube posterior to the posterior neuropore in mammals.

The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules, where both cells are part of the same organism.

The controlled self-propelled movement of a cell from one site to a destination guided by molecular cues. Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.

The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site along the anterior-posterior body axis in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism.

The specification and formation of the polarity of a cell along its apical/basal axis.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process.

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of progression through the mitotic cell cycle.

The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration of a chemical.

The morphogenetic process in which an epithelium narrows along one axis and lengthens in a perpendicular axis usually resulting in the formation of the three primary germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.

Any apoptotic process that contributes to the shaping of an anatomical structure.

The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone of a commissural neuron is directed to its target in the brain in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues.

Any process that initiates the activity of an inactive GTPase through the replacement of GDP by GTP.

The orderly movement of a motor neuron from one site to another. A motor neuron is an efferent neuron that passes from the central nervous system or a ganglion toward or to a muscle and conducts an impulse that causes movement.

The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

A cell junction that forms a connection between two or more cells in a multicellular organism; excludes direct cytoplasmic junctions such as ring canals.

An adherens junction which connects a cell to another cell.

A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it.
