Abstract

Reporting in Developmental Cell, Packard et al. (2013) identify a peculiar mitotic behavior in ureteric bud tips whereby dividing cells leave the epithelium for the lumen, retaining only a slender connection with basement membrane. One daughter inherits its mother's location, whereas the other moves along the lumen and reintegrates there.
