Afferent neurons of the zebrafish lateral line are strict selectors of hair-cell orientation. [PDF]
Hair cells in the inner ear display a characteristic polarization of their apical stereocilia across the plane of the sensory epithelium. This planar orientation allows coherent transduction of mechanical stimuli because the axis of morphological ...

A screen for round egg mutants in Drosophila identifies tricornered, furry, and misshapen as regulators of egg chamber elongation. [PDF]
The elongation of tissues and organs during embryonic development results from the coordinate polarization of cell behaviors with respect to the elongation axis.

During development, sensory hair cells (HCs) in the cochlea assemble a stereociliary hair bundle on their apical surface with planar polarized structure and orientation.

The planar polarity pathway [PDF]
Research in the area of developmental biology has historically focused on the key question of how different cell fates are determined in different regions of the body. From the point of view of producing a functioning organism, however, an equally important question is how cells acquire the appropriate polarities.

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.

POLARIZATION-AGILE ADS-INTERLEAVED PLANAR ARRAYS [PDF]
This paper presents a class of polarization-agile arrays with controlled sidelobes. The architecture is based on the interleaving of two independently polarized sub-arrays through a deterministic strategy derived from Almost Difference Sets (ADSs). The efficiency, flexibility and reliability of the proposed design technique is assessed by means of a ...

Stat3/Cdc25a-dependent cell proliferation promotes embryonic axis extension during zebrafish gastrulation [PDF]
Cell proliferation has generally been considered dispensable for anteroposterior extension of embryonic axis during vertebrate gastrulation. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), a conserved controller of cell proliferation ...

CPLANE Complex and Ciliopathies
Primary cilia are non-motile organelles associated with the cell cycle, which can be found in most vertebrate cell types. Cilia formation occurs through a process called ciliogenesis, which involves several mechanisms including planar cell polarity (PCP)

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

Spina bifida-predisposing heterozygous mutations in Planar Cell Polarity genes and Zic2 reduce bone mass in young mice [PDF]
Fractures are a common comorbidity in children with the neural tube defect (NTD) spina bifida. Mutations in the Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway contribute to NTDs in humans and mice, but whether this pathway independently determines bone mass is ...
