Abstract excerpt
The genetic control of mammalian epithelial polarity and dynamics can be studied in vivo at cellular resolution during morphogenesis of the mouse neural tube. The mouse neural plate is a simple epithelium that is transformed into a columnar pseudostratified tube over the course of ∼ 24 h. Apical F-actin is known to be important for neural tube closure, but the precise roles of actin dynamics in the neural...
