Epithelial folding is an important morphogenetic process that is essential in transforming simple sheets of cells into complex three-dimensional tissues and organs during animal development (Davidson, 2012). Epithelial folding has been shown to rely on constriction forces generated by the apical actomyosin network (Martin et al., 2009; Roh-Johnson et al., 2012; Sawyer et al., 2010). However, the contributions of mechanical forces acting along lateral and basal cell surfaces to epithelial folding remain poorly understood. Here we combine live imaging with force measurements of epithelial mechanics to analyze the formation of two epithelial folds in the Drosophila larval wing imaginal disc. We show that these two neighboring folds form via ...
