Establishing cell polarity in plants: the role of cytoskeletal structures and regulatory pathways [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyCell polarity is a fundamental mechanism of plant cells that drives cellular specialization and the formation of diverse cell types. It regulates critical developmental events, including polarized tip growth (such as pollen tubes and root hairs ...

Cell autonomous polarization by the planar cell polarity signaling pathway. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Abstract As epithelial cells polarize in the tissue plane, the Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) signaling module segregates two distinct molecular subcomplexes to opposite sides of cells. Homodimers of the atypical cadherin Flamingo form bridges linking opposite complexes in neighboring cells, coordinating their direction of polarization ...

aPKC: the Kinase that Phosphorylates Cell Polarity [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2018 Establishing and maintaining cell polarity are dynamic processes that necessitate complicated but highly regulated protein interactions. Phosphorylation is a powerful mechanism for cells to control the function and subcellular localization of a target ...

Cell polarity: cell type-specific regulators, common pathways, and polarized vesicle transport. [PDF]
LeukemiaCell polarity, the asymmetric organization of cellular components, is evolutionarily conserved from unicellular and multicellular organisms and is crucial for many biological processes. Polarity is required to maintain cell and tissue integrity by regulating cell division, migration, orientation, cell-cell interactions, and morphogenesis.

npj Regenerative Medicine, 2022 TJP2/ZO-2-inactivating mutations in humans cause progressive cholestatic liver disease. Liver-specific deletion of Tjp2 in the mouse (Tjp2 cKO mice) leads to mild progressive cholestasis without an overt degradation of the bile-blood barrier (BBB). These

Cell Polarity from Cell Division [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2007 Apical-basal polarity of epithelial cells is critical for their symmetric versus asymmetric division and commonly thought to be established in interphase. In a novel type of cell division termed "mirror-symmetric", apical cell constituents accumulate during M-phase at the cleavage furrow, resulting in epithelial daughter cells with opposite apical ...

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020 Background Transmembrane and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 1 (TMIGD1) is a recently identified cell adhesion molecule which is predominantly expressed by epithelial cells of the intestine and the kidney. Its expression is downregulated in both

Cell Adhesion at the Tight Junctions: New Aspects and New Functions
Cells, 2023 Tight junctions (TJ) are cell–cell adhesive structures that define the permeability of barrier-forming epithelia and endothelia. In contrast to this seemingly static function, TJs display a surprisingly high molecular complexity and unexpected dynamic ...
