title: Drosophila morphogenesis: follow-my-leader in epithelia.
abstract: The shape of an organism largely depends on movements of epithelial sheets during embryogenesis. The discovery of a second MAPK kinase in Drosophila provides new insights into mechanisms that control the coordinated movement of epithelial cells.
