Abstract excerpt
Dorsal closure in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a complex morphogenetic process, driven by sequential signaling cascades and involving multiple forces, which contribute to cell movements and rearrangements as well as to changes in cell shape. During closure, lateral epidermal cells elongate along the dorsoventral axis and subsequently spread dorsally to cover the embryonic dorsal surface. Amnioserosal...
