Popis: Collective epithelial behaviours are studied in vitro in the context of flat sheets but a system to mimic tubular systems is lacking. Here, the authors develop a method to study collective behaviour in lumenal structures and show that several features depend on the extent of tubular confinement and/or curvature.
