Polarized Rac-dependent protrusions drive epithelial intercalation in the embryonic epidermis of C. elegans
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
Cell intercalation is a fundamental, coordinated cell rearrangement process that shapes tissues throughout animal development. Studies of intercalation within epithelia have focused almost exclusively on the localized constriction of specific apical junctions. Another widely deployed yet poorly understood alternative mechanism of epithelial intercalation relies on basolateral protrusive activity. Using the dorsal...
