Dynamic analysis of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition of blood-brain barrier forming glia in Drosophila
During development, many epithelia are formed by a mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET). Here, we examine the major stages and underlying mechanisms of MET during blood-brain barrier formation in Drosophila. We show that contact with the basal lamina is essential for the growth of the barrier-for...
