Abstract excerpt

During Drosophila gastrulation, morphogenesis occurs as a series of cell shape changes and cell movements which probably involve adhesive interactions between cells. In the present study, we examined the dynamic aspects of cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion in the morphogenetic events to assess it...
