A multi-layered and dynamic apical extracellular matrix shapes the vulva lumen in Caenorhabditis elegans
Biological tubes must develop and maintain their proper diameter to transport materials efficiently. These tubes are molded and protected in part by apical extracellular matrices (aECMs) that line their lumens. Despite their importance, aECMs are difficult to image in vivo and therefore poorly under...
