Cell exit during EMT is mechanically triggered independently of E-Cadherin loss

The paper shows that cell exit during EMT in Drosophila is mechanically driven by apical detachment requiring Spectrin, independent of E-Cadherin loss.

Apical-basal polarity regulates Collagen IV-dependent cell-cell adhesion in the Drosophila adipose tissue

This study shows that apical-basal polarity regulates Collagen IV-dependent cell-cell adhesion in Drosophila fat body through aPKC and Ecdysone signaling.

Cell deformations generated by dynamic cortical actin waves drive in vivo swimming migration

This study shows that Drosophila fat body cells use dynamic actomyosin waves for swimming migration in vivo, driven by RhoGTPases and involving cell elongation and deformation.

Basolateral localization of MMP14 drives apicobasal polarity change during EMT independently of its catalytic activity

This study shows MMP14's basolateral localization drives apicobasal polarity changes during EMT independently of its catalytic activity in chick neural crest cells.
