Abstract
The cell and molecular mechanisms that cause a smooth epithelium to become topographically patterned during development are poorly understood. In a recent issue of Science, Shyer et al. (2017) show that myosin II contractility drives the smooth dermal mesenchyme into a pattern of surface bumps that triggers epithelial gene expression.Entities:
