Regulation of cell division orientation controls the spatial distribution of cells during development and is essential for one-directional tissue transformation, such as elongation. However, little is known about whether it plays a role in other types of tissue morphogenesis. Using an ascidian Halocynthia roretzi, we found that differently oriented cell divisions in the epidermis of the future trunk (anterior) and tail (posterior) regions create an hourglass-like epithelial bending between the t ...[more]
