Organs are often formed by the extension and branching of epithelial tubes. An appropriate termination of epithelial tube extension is important for generating organs of the proper size and morphology. However, the mechanism by which epithelial tubes terminate their extension is mostly unknown. Here we show that the BED-finger domain protein MIG-39 acts to stop epithelial tube extension in Caenorhabditis elegans....
