--- res: bibo_abstract: - Apical cell contraction triggers tissue folding and invagination in epithelia. During Drosophila gastrulation, ventral furrow formation was thought to be driven by smooth, purse-string-like constriction of an actomyosin belt underlying adherens junctions. Now Martin et al. report in Nature that ventral furrow formation is triggered by asynchronous pulsed contractions of the apical acto-myosin cortex in individual cells.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Ewa foaf_name: Paluch, Ewa foaf_surname: Paluch - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Carl-Philipp J foaf_name: Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J foaf_surname: Heisenberg foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-0912-4566 bibo_doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2008.12.011 bibo_issue: '1' bibo_volume: 16 dct_date: 2009^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Cell Press@ dct_title: 'Chaos begets order: Asynchronous cell contractions drive epithelial morphogenesis@' ...
