Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila embryonic hindgut is a robust system for the study of patterning and morphogenesis of epithelial organs. We show that, in a period of about 10 h, and in the absence of significant cell division or apoptosis, the hindgut epithelium undergoes morphogenesis by changes in cell shape and size and by cell rearrangement. The epithelium concomitantly becomes surrounded by visceral mesoderm and is...
