Interkinetic nuclear movements promote apical expansion in pseudostratified epithelia at the expense of apicobasal elongation

Pseudostratified epithelia (PSE) are a common type of columnar epithelia found in a wealth of embryonic and adult tissues such as ectodermal placodes, the trachea, the ureter, the gut and the neuroepithelium. PSE are characterized by the choreographed displacement of cells' nuclei along the api...
