title: Holding on and letting go: cadherin turnover in cell intercalation.
abstract: In zebrafish early development, blastoderm cells undergo extensive radial intercalations, triggering the spreading of the blastoderm over the yolk cell and thereby initiating embryonic body axis formation. Now reporting in Developmental Cell, Song et al. (2013) demonstrate a critical function for EGF-dependent E-cadherin endocytosis in promoting blastoderm cell intercalations.
