How robust patterns of tissue dynamics emerge from heterogeneities, stochasticities, and asynchronies in cell behavior is an outstanding question in morphogenesis. A clear understanding of this requires examining the influence of the behavior of single cells on tissue patterning. Here we develop single-cell manipulation strategies to uncover the origin of patterned cell behavior in the amnioserosa during Drosophila dorsal closure.

Tissue patterning relies on cellular reorganization through the interplay between signaling pathways and mechanical stresses. Their integration and spatiotemporal coordination remain poorly understood. Here we investigate the mechanisms driving the dynamics of cell delamination, diversely deployed to extrude dead cells or specify distinct cell fates.
