The direction in which a cell divides is determined by the orientation of its mitotic spindle at
metaphase. Spindle orientation is therefore important for a wide range of developmental …

We investigated the cell behaviors that drive morphogenesis of the Drosophila follicular
epithelium during expansion and elongation of early‐stage egg chambers. We found that cell …

In animal cells, mitotic spindles are oriented by the dynein/dynactin motor complex, which
exerts a pulling force on astral microtubules. Dynein/dynactin localization depends on Mud/…

Epithelial tissues are the most abundant tissue type in animals, lining body cavities and
generating compartment barriers. The function of a monolayered epithelial tissue–whether …

The function of an epithelial tissue is intertwined with its architecture. Epithelial tissues are
often described as pseudo–two-dimensional, but this view may be partly attributed to …

Epithelial tissues are the most abundant tissue type in animals, lining body cavities and
generating compartment barriers. The function of a monolayer epithelium–whether protective, …

Organ surfaces are lined by epithelial monolayers - sheets of cells that are one-cell thick.
This architecture underlies tissue function, and its loss is associated with disease, including …

We investigated the relationship between proliferation and tissue topology in an epithelial
tissue undergoing elongation. We found that cell division is not required for elongation of the …

The function of an epithelial tissue is intertwined with its architecture. Epithelial tissues are
often described as pseudo-two-dimensional, but this view may be partly attributed to …

Epithelial tissues are the most common tissue type within our bodies. Epithelia have a wide
range of functions, including but not limited to, protection, absorption, and secretion. To …
