Cell Polarity: The importance of being polar [PDF]
Cell polarization is often accompanied by cytoskeletal rearrangements. Two signalling proteins, a GTPase and a kinase, are required for both actin and microtubule rearrangements. Are these two systems coupled?

Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive breast cancer subtype characterized by a remarkable molecular heterogeneity. Currently, there are no effective druggable targets and advanced preclinical models of the human disease.

Complex polarity: building multicellular tissues through apical membrane traffic [PDF]
The formation of distinct subdomains of the cell surface is crucial for multicellular organism development. The most striking example of this is apical-basal polarization.

Cell Polarity: Centrosomes Release Signals for Polarization [PDF]
New findings reveal that, in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, the centrosome provides signals that induce cell polarization, independently of its function as the microtubule-organizing center.

Immune cells are responsible for pathogen detection and elimination, as well as for signaling to other cells the presence of potential danger. In order to mount an efficient immune response, they need to move and search for a pathogen, interact with other cells, and diversify the population by asymmetric cell division.

Cell polarity: Par for the polar course [PDF]
The nematode PAR-1 gene is required for asymmetric cell divisions during development. Recently identified mammalian Par-1 homologues are kinases that phosphorylate microtubule-associated proteins; their overexpression disrupts the microtubule cytoskeleton, and alters cellular structure and organization.

Stochastic model for cell polarity
Cell polarity refers to the spatial asymmetry of molecules on the cell membrane. Altschuler, Angenent, Wang and Wu have proposed a stochastic model for studying the emergence of polarity in the presence of feedback between molecules.

Dishevelled genes mediate a conserved mammalian PCP pathway to regulate convergent extension during neurulation [PDF]
The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway is conserved throughout evolution, but it mediates distinct developmental processes. In Drosophila, members of the PCP pathway localize in a polarized fashion to specify the cellular polarity within the plane of the

Planar Cell Polarity: Coordinating Morphogenetic Cell Behaviors with Embryonic Polarity [PDF]
Planar cell polarization entails establishment of cellular asymmetries within the tissue plane. An evolutionarily conserved planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling system employs intra- and intercellular feedback interactions between its core components, including Frizzled, Van Gogh, Flamingo, Prickle, and Dishevelled, to establish their characteristic ...

The polarisation of cells and tissues is fundamental for tissue morphogenesis during biological development and regeneration. A deeper understanding of biological polarity pattern formation can be gained from the consideration of pattern reorganisation ...
