A fluorescence view of a tissue section of embryonic lung showing a localized focus of proliferating epithelial cells (green) in a region of high tissue curvature, which drives outward tissue expansion during budding morphogenesis (red, basement membrane; blue, nuclei; adapted from ref. 18). Tissue geometry may feed back to establish and maintain local growth patterns.
