Complex interactions between GSK3 and aPKC in Drosophila embryonic epithelial morphogenesis.

Generally, epithelial cells must organize in three dimensions to form functional tissue sheets. Here we investigate one such sheet, the Drosophila embryonic epidermis, and the morphogenetic processes organizing cells within it. We report that epidermal morphogenesis requires the proper distribution...
