During neural tube closure, neural ectoderm cells constrict their apical surfaces to bend and
fold the tissue into a tube that will become the central nervous system. Recent data from …

Failures of neural tube closure are common and serious birth defects, yet we have a poor
understanding of the interaction of genetics and cell biology during neural tube closure …

Background: The morphogenetic events of early vertebrate development generally involve
the combined actions of several populations of cells, each engaged in a distinct behavior …

Neural tube closure is a critical developmental event that relies on actomyosin contractility to

Apical constriction is a cell shape change critical to vertebrate neural tube closure, and the
contractile force required for this process is generated by actin-myosin networks. The …

Neural tube closure has been studied for many decades, across a range of vertebrates, as a
paradigm of embryonic morphogenesis. Neurulation is of particular interest in view of the …
