Embryonic morphogenesis requires the execution of complex mechanisms that regulate the
local behaviour of groups of cells. The orchestration of such mechanisms has been mainly …

Epithelia are robust tissues that support the structure of embryos and organs and serve as
effective barriers against pathogens. Epithelia also chemically separate different physiological …

Cell shape changes underlie a large set of biological processes ranging from cell division to
cell motility. Stereotyped patterns of cell shape changes also determine tissue remodeling …

Shaping a developing organ or embryo relies on the spatial regulation of cell division and
shape. However, morphogenesis also occurs through changes in cell-neighbourhood …

During epithelial morphogenesis, E-cadherin adhesive junctions play an important part in
mechanically coupling the contractile cortices of cells together, thereby distributing the …

… Nienhaus) was subcloned carboxy-terminal to E-cad using NcoI and the resulting sequence
was introduced into a pUASpGateway vector (from T. Murphy). E-cad–EosFP was visualized …

… intensity measurements, two-sample Student’s t-tests (two-tailed distribution with unequal
variance) were used to determine P values. A t-test was performed only if the distribution was …
