An actin-mediated two-step mechanism is required for ventral enclosure of the C. elegans hypodermis

1 Aug 1997

Abstract excerpt

The epiboly of the Caenorhabditis elegans hypodermis involves the bilateral spreading of a thin epithelial sheet from the dorsal side around the embryo to meet at the ventral midline in a process known as ventral enclosure. We present evidence that ventral enclosure occurs in two major steps. The initial migration of the hypodermis is led by a quartet of cells, which exhibit protrusive activity at their medial...
