Abstract excerpt
At the end of germband retraction, the dorsal epidermis of the Drosophila embryo exhibits a discontinuity that is covered by the amnioserosa. The process of dorsal closure (DC) involves a coordinated set of cell-shape changes within the epidermis and the amnioserosa that result in epidermal continuity. Polarisation of the dorsal-most epidermal (DME) cells in the plane of the epithelium is an important aspect of...
