Epithelial organization and cyst lumen expansion require efficient Sec13-Sec31-driven secretion [PDF]
, 2012 Epithelial morphogenesis is directed by interactions with the underlying extracellular matrix. Secretion of collagen and other matrix components requires efficient coat complex II (COPII) vesicle formation at the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we show that
