Abstract
Hollow structures are essential for development and physiological activity. The construction and maintenance of hollow structures never cease throughout the lives of multicellular animals. Epithelial tissue closure is the main strategy used by living organisms to build hollow structures. The high diversity of hollow structures and the simplicity of their development in Drosophila make it an excellent model for the study of hollow structure morphogenesis. In this review, we summarize the tissue closure processes in Drosophila that give rise to or maintain hollow structures and highlight the molecular mechanisms and distinct cell biology involved in these processes.
