Tension at the leading edge: differential expression of the cell adhesion molecule Echinoid controls epithelial morphogenesis in «Drosophila»
Epithelial morphogenesis requires cell shape changes coordinated by local modulations of the actin cytoskeleton. We identify a role for Echinoid (Ed), a homophilic binding cell adhesion molecule, in the generation of contractile actomyosin cables that drive epithelial morphogenesis in both the Droso...
