Mechanisms of regulating tissue elongation in Drosophila wing: impact of oriented cell divisions, oriented mechanical forces, and reduced cell size.

Regulation of cell growth and cell division plays fundamental roles in tissue morphogenesis. However, the mechanisms of regulating tissue elongation through cell growth and cell division are still not well understood. The wing imaginal disc of Drosophila provides a model system that has been widely...
