Intracellular signalling and intercellular coupling coordinate heterogeneous contractile events to facilitate tissue folding

Cellular forces generated in the apical domain of epithelial cells reshape tissues. Recent studies highlighted an important role for dynamic actomyosin contractions, called pulses, that change cell and tissue shape. Net cell shape change depends on whether cell shape is stabilized, or ratcheted, bet...
