Epithelial Folding Through Local Degradation of an Elastic Basement Membrane Plate Epithelia are flat tissues with a solid-like basement membrane attached to their basal surface. During embryonic development, epithelia need to undergo folding processes. While recent studies suggest....

#Epithelial #morphogenesis requires #folding. In our latest study, we elucidate how tissues can fold through #BasementMembrane degradation in the absence of tissue growth using #PlateTheory. Check it out under onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
