Chiral cell sliding drives left-right asymmetric organ twisting

Chiral cell sliding drives left-right asymmetric organ twisting

Polarized epithelial morphogenesis is an essential process in animal development. While this process is mostly attributed to directional cell intercalation, it can also be induced by other mechanisms. Using live-imaging analysis and a three-dimensional vertex model, we identified ‘cell sliding,’ a n...
