The dorsal blastopore lip is a source of signals inducing planar cell polarity in the Xenopus neural plate

open access: yesBiology Open, 2021
Coordinated polarization of cells in the tissue plane, known as planar cell polarity (PCP), is associated with a signaling pathway critical for the control of morphogenetic processes. Although the segregation of PCP components to opposite cell borders is

Tissue fluidity mediated by adherens junction dynamics promotes planar cell polarity-driven ommatidial rotation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Ommatidial rotation in the Drosophila eye is a regulated process and a Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) cell motility model. Here, the authors show that tissue fluidity via junctional remodeling, as regulated by the PCP effector kinase Nemo, is critical for ...

PCP Signaling between Migrating Neurons and their Planar-Polarized Neuroepithelial Environment Controls Filopodial Dynamics and Directional Migration. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway is a cell-contact mediated mechanism for transmitting polarity information between neighboring cells. PCP "core components" (Vangl, Fz, Pk, Dsh, and Celsr) are essential for a number of cell migratory events ...

Conserved and Divergent Principles of Planar Polarity Revealed by Hair Cell Development and Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Planar polarity describes the organization and orientation of polarized cells or cellular structures within the plane of an epithelium. The sensory receptor hair cells of the vertebrate inner ear have been recognized as a preeminent vertebrate model ...

Planar cell polarity in the larval epidermis of Drosophila and the role of microtubules [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2020
We investigate planar cell polarity (PCP) in the Drosophila larval epidermis. The intricate pattern of denticles depends on only one system of PCP, the Dachsous/Fat system.

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Regulates Cochlear Outgrowth and Planar Cell Polarity via Gsk3β Inhibition

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
During development, sensory hair cells (HCs) in the cochlea assemble a stereociliary hair bundle on their apical surface with planar polarized structure and orientation.

Planar polarization of Vangl2 in the vertebrate neural plate is controlled by Wnt and Myosin II signaling

open access: yesBiology Open, 2015
The vertebrate neural tube forms as a result of complex morphogenetic movements, which require the functions of several core planar cell polarity (PCP) proteins, including Vangl2 and Prickle.

Wnt proteins can direct planar cell polarity in vertebrate ectoderm

open access: yeseLife, 2016
The coordinated orientation of cells across the tissue plane, known as planar cell polarity (PCP), is manifested by the segregation of core PCP proteins to different sides of the cell.

A novel, PCP-dependent tissue organising principle coordinating morphogenesis between embryonic skin epidermal layers. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Anat
‘Outside‐in’ expression of Fz6 across multiple layers of mouse embryo epidermis is connected to Fz6 asymmetry in the basal layer plane. Fz6 loss‐of‐function correlated with failure to: coordinate axial bias of cell long axis orientation across epidermal layers, switch axial cell long axis orientation during suprabasal layer development and establish ...
