RESUMO
Epithelial folding is a fundamental biological process that requires epithelial interactions with the underlying mesenchyme. In this issue of Cell, Huycke et al. investigate intestinal villus formation. They discover that water-droplet-like behavior of mesenchymal cells drives their coalescence into uniformly patterned aggregates, which generate forces on the epithelium to initiate folding.
