Anisotropic regulation of lateral surface tension directs invagination in C. elegans gastrulation

Tokitaka Katayama, Kazunori Yamamoto, Toshikaze Chiba…·Akatsuki Kimura

The paper shows that anisotropic lateral surface tension, mediated by HMR-1/E-cadherin, directs invagination in C. elegans gastrulation, complementing apical constriction.
