Abstract excerpt
Although the formation and maintenance of epithelial tubes are essential for the viability of multicellular organisms, our understanding of the molecular and cellular events coordinating tubulogenesis is relatively limited. Here, we focus on the activities of Ribbon, a novel BTB-domain containing nuclear protein, in the elongation of two epithelial tubes: the Drosophila salivary gland and trachea. We show that...
