DESCRIPTION:The rostrocaudal (or head-to-tail) axis elongates by virtue of
  populations of progenitors at the caudal end of the embryo. We have chara
 cterised two of these populations\, the neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs)
  and\, more recently\, a population of mesoderm-only progenitors\, the lat
 eral-paraxial mesoderm progenitors (LPMPs). In this talk I will discuss ho
 w NMPs are first specified\; what factors maintain them and how they are e
 ventually eliminated at the end of axis elongation. I will also discuss th
 eir relationship to LPMPs.
