JNK signaling and integrins cooperate to maintain cell adhesion during epithelial fusion in Drosophila

The fusion of epithelial sheets is an essential and conserved morphogenetic event that requires the maintenance of tissue continuity. This is secured by membrane-bound or diffusible signals that instruct the epithelial cells, in a coordinated fashion, to change shapes and adhesive properties and whe...
