The RhoGEF protein Plekhg5 regulates medioapical actomyosin dynamics of apical constriction during Xenopus gastrulation

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

In vivo imaging and regression analysis reveal cell-non-autonomous functions of Shroom3 during neural tube closure.

The paper uses in vivo imaging and regression analysis to show that Shroom3 has non-cell autonomous effects on apical constriction and N-cadherin localization during neural tube closure.

Global analysis of cell behavior and protein localization dynamics reveals region-specific functions for Shroom3 and N-cadherin during neural tube closure.

The paper uses tissue-level time-lapse microscopy to study cell behavior and protein localization during Xenopus neural tube closure, revealing region-specific functions of Shroom3 and N-cadherin.
