Linking epithelial size, tension and pressure in curved epithelial monolayers Ariadna Marin, Integrative Cell and Tissue DynamicsEpithelia are thin cellular layers that act as mechanical and biochemical barriers. They are dynamic tissues that present strong intercellular junctions needed to maintain their integrity while growing and regenerating. During embryogenesis, they fold progressively and give rise to ... Read more
