3D surface of the fruit fly wing disc before (left) and after (right) eversion. Highlighted in blue is the pouch region, which transforms from a radially symmetric dome into a curved fold by shape-programmed cell behaviors. The dashed and dotted lines indicate the main axes used to analyze these morphological changes.
