Morphogenesis. Control of epithelial cell shape changes

Curr Biol. 1994 Aug 1;4(8):709-12. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(00)00156-1.

Abstract

Cell-shape changes in the gastrulating Drosophila embryo generate two epithelial invaginations. These changes are regulated by four transcription factors, and folded gastrulation is a candidate downstream effector.
