This study shows Lmo7 stabilizes actomyosin at the apical cortex during neural tube closure through force-dependent binding to NMII, enhancing apical constriction.

This study shows that Prickle2 enhances tissue fluidity during vertebrate neurulation by remodeling apical junctions, facilitating neural tube formation.

The paper investigates how apical domain alterations in Xenopus neural plate cells drive tissue folding through mechanical interactions and PCP signaling.

This study shows that Mrtf proteins regulate apical constriction and morphogenetic events in Xenopus embryos by controlling F-actin organization.
