The formation of the embryonic left–right axis is a fundamental process in animals, which subsequently conditions both shape and correct positioning internal organs. During vertebrate early development, transient structure, known as organizer, breaks bilateral symmetry manner that critically dependent on activity motile immotile cilia or asymmetric cell migration. Extensive studies have partially elucidated molecular pathways initiate patterning morphogenesis. Wnt/planar polarity signaling plays an important role biased orientation rotational motion cilia. leftward fluid flow generated cavity organizer sensed by through complex mechanisms to trigger left-sided calcium lateralized gene expression pattern. Disrupted impaired structure function leads randomized determination, closely linked laterality defects, particularly congenital heart disease. Despite formidable progress made deciphering critical contribution establishing asymmetry, strong challenge remains understand how generate sense differentially activate across axis. This review analyzes underlying morphogenesis formation. It also aims identify questions are open for future investigations.
