A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three -dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development.

Research teams from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden , Germany , have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be 'programmed' to transition from a flat state to a 3 -dimensional shape.

Researchers measured tissue shape changes and cell behaviors during the Drosophila wing disc eversion, when the dome shape transforms into a curved fold shape.
