N-cadherin at heterotypic contacts controls the level and asymmetric localisation of Myosin-II motor, thereby influencing cell shapes and cell packing.
The SP1/KLF transcription factor Huckebein controls endoreplication in the Drosophila salivary gland, ensuring proper morphogenesis during organ formation.
Epidermal cells in vertebrates and invertebrates ensheath portions of somatosensory neurons via a conserved morphogenetic mechanism, and this ensheathment regulates morphogenesis and function of Drosophila nociceptive neurons.

Cellularization in Sphaeroforma arctica generates a self-organized structure that morphologically resembles an epithelium, and is associated with tightly regulated expression of cell adhesion pathways.

Super-resolution microscopy reveals the nanoscale molecular architecture of 29 protein components of a eukaryotic contractile ring relative to the membrane.

Functional recapitulation of a likely evolutionary gain in gene expression shows that two genes are sufficient to switch mesoderm cell internalization from stochastic cell ingression to coordinated epithelial invagination.
The transcriptional network for the GAL regulon induction in the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans represents an important advance in the evolution of the regulatory circuits, and would make a nice addition to the textbook version of eukaryotic gene regulation.
