Introduction
Throughout the body are many structures which are described as "tubular", that is they have a cellular wall with a hollow and generally fluid-filled core.
How do you make a "pipe" from cells, are there common mechanisms of this tube formation or a number of different ways of generating hollow structures? In research there does not seem to be a "tube research group" but a number of labs looking at how tubes form in their particular tissue of interest (heart, blood vessels, neural, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, kidney, genital).
