Steady-state epithelial apical flatness is characterized by MLCK morphodynamics and asynchronous Ca2+ oscillations, but not by underlying ECM geometry
{{output}}
The canonical simple epithelium is a flat sheet-like tissue of horizontally packed cells. While the basal surface is delineated by the basement membrane of extracellular matrix (ECM), little is known about how a flat apical surface is maintained, or if apical/... ...
