Epithelial morphogenesis: apoptotic forces drive cell shape changes

Developmental Cell
Daniel P Kiehart

Abstract

Studying how cells produce and transmit forces that drive morphogenesis is critical to understanding organismal development. A new paper by Monier et al. (2015) identifies an apicobasal actomyosin cable that characterizes apoptotic cells and contributes force(s) for cell sheet bending.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
