Scope and Contents
Contents
Quantitative analysis and mathematical modelling show that cortical tension anisotropy at apical cell junctions drives cell neighbour exchanges that are responsible for elongation of
Drosophila
embryos. This anisotropy depends on myosin II activity.
The morphogenesis of developing embryos and organs relies on the ability of cells to remode...
