Apical constriction: Mechanism, Morphogenetic role & Overview

In morphogenesis, apical constriction is the process in which contraction of the apical side of a cell causes the cell to take on a wedged shape. Generally, this shape change is coordinated across many cells of an epithelial layer, generating forces that can bend or fold the cell sheet.
