Abstract excerpt
Epithelial morphogenesis in vitro has been studied in cultures soon after cell-cell contact at confluency when several actin-associated proteins (fodrin, adherens junction molecules E-cadherin and catenins) localize to specific subcellular domains and become resistant to extraction with non-ionic detergents. Here we demonstrate that early confluency is followed by a long postconfluent period of several weeks...
