... and avian lung development ( Kim et al., 2013 ; Kadzik et al., 2014 ). F-actin and non-muscle myosin-II become localized apically within airway epithelial cells to produce changes in cell shape that cause the epithelium to fold and form new lateral branches ( Kim et al., 2013 ). To determine if apical...
