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. These cells are …

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 …

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 …

The process of folding the flat neuroectoderm into an elongated neural tube depends on
tissue fluidity, a property that allows epithelial deformation while preserving tissue integrity …

Neural tube closure is a critical developmental event that relies on actomyosin contractility to
facilitate specific processes such as apical constriction, tissue bending, and directional cell …

Apical constriction is an essential cell behavior during neural tube closure, but its underlying
mechanisms are not fully understood. Lulu, or EPB4. 1l5, is a FERM domain protein that has …

Epithelial cell cohesion and barrier function critically depend on α-catenin, an actin-binding
protein and essential constituent of cadherin-catenin-based adherens junctions. α-catenin …
