Dorsal Closure

Dorsal Closure is a morphogenetic process in embryonic development that belongs to the class of tissue-level morphogenetic events and is distinguished by the coordinated migration and fusion of lateral epithelial sheets over the dorsally positioned amnioserosa to seal the epidermis during mid-embryogenesis.
