Vertex sliding drives intercalation by radial coupling of adhesion and actomyosin networks during Drosophila germband extension.

Abstract excerpt

Oriented cell intercalation is an essential developmental process that shapes tissue morphologies through the directional insertion of cells between their neighbors. Previous research has focused on properties of cell-cell interfaces, while the function of tricellular vertices has remained unaddressed. Here, we identify a highly novel mechanism in which vertices demonstrate independent sliding behaviors along...
