This study investigates the role of Plekhg5 in regulating medioapical actomyosin dynamics during Xenopus gastrulation, showing its critical role in apical constriction.

The paper characterizes convergent thickening in Xenopus gastrulation, showing it generates tensile forces through changes in tissue affinity.

This study shows that Scribble mutations disrupt neural tube closure by impairing cell intercalation, apical constriction, and junctional protein expression in mouse embryos.
