Abstract excerpt
The narrowest biological tubes are formed by cells that hollow to form an intracellular lumen. Here, we examine early lumenogenesis of the C. elegans excretory cell, which branches to form an H-shaped intracellular tube spanning the length of the worm. Using genetically paralyzed embryos to freeze movement, we describe lumen initiation and branching for the first time using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy. We...
