Biomechanical regulation of planar cell polarity in endothelial cells.
Cell polarity refers to the uneven distribution of certain cytoplasmic components in a cell with a spatial order. The planar cell polarity (PCP), the cell aligns perpendicular to the polar plane, in endothelial cells (ECs) has become a research hot spot.

The phenomenon of tissue fluidity—cells’ ability to rearrange relative to each other in confluent tissues—has been linked to several morphogenetic processes and diseases, yet few molecular regulators of tissue fluidity are known. Ommatidial rotation (OR),

Planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling polarizes cells within the plane of an epithelium. In the airways, planar cell polarity signaling orients the directional beating of motile cilia required for effective mucociliary clearance.

Amyloid beta oligomers cause glutamatergic synapse degeneration by targeting the planar cell polarity components in the synapses. The signaling pathway directly controlling the maintenance of adult glutamatergic synapses has not been well understood ...

Planar cell polarity in Drosophila [PDF]
In all multicellular organisms, epithelial cells are not only polarized along the apical-basal axis, but also within the epithelial plane, giving cells a sense of direction. Planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling regulates establishment of polarity within the plane of an epithelium.

Morphogenetic forces planar polarize LGN/Pins in the embryonic head during Drosophila gastrulation
Spindle orientation is often achieved by a complex of Partner of Inscuteable (Pins)/LGN, Mushroom Body Defect (Mud)/Nuclear Mitotic Apparatus (NuMa), Gαi, and Dynein, which interacts with astral microtubules to rotate the spindle.

Cell packing influences planar cell polarity signaling [PDF]
Some epithelial cells display asymmetry along an axis orthogonal to the apical-basal axis, referred to as planar cell polarity (PCP). A Frizzled-mediated feedback loop coordinates PCP between neighboring cells, and the cadherin Fat transduces a global directional cue that orients PCP with respect to the tissue axes.

Summary: Planar polarity, the coordinated polarization of cells in the plane of a tissue, is important for normal tissue development and function. Proteins of the core planar polarity pathway become asymmetrically localized at the junctions between cells

Scientists like to consider themselves as especially objective, but, however hard we try we cannot be very different from everyone else. Like them we helplessly absorb our knowledge, our perspectives, our valuation of whether something is exciting or boring from those around us.
