Abstract excerpt
Drosophila imaginal discs are monolayered epithelial invaginations that grow during larval stages and evert at metamorphosis to assemble the adult exoskeleton. They consist of columnar cells, forming the imaginal epithelium, as well as squamous cells, which constitute the peripodial epithelium and stalk (PS). Here, we uncover a new morphogenetic/cellular mechanism for disc eversion. We show that imaginal discs...
