Abstract
In this issue, Kim et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202409078) report that the scaffold protein Arc acts through Crumbs to spatially restrict where actomyosin-based apical constriction occurs across the invaginating Drosophila salivary gland. This restriction is needed for a long, thin tube to form.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a comprehensive journal dedicated to publishing original discoveries across all realms of cell biology. We invite papers presenting novel cellular or molecular advancements in various domains of basic cell biology, along with applied cell biology research in diverse systems such as immunology, neurobiology, metabolism, virology, developmental biology, and plant biology. We enthusiastically welcome submissions showcasing significant findings of interest to cell biologists, irrespective of the experimental approach.
