Planar polarity: Out of joint? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2000 Epithelial structures, such as the wing hairs and ommatidia in Drosophila, are aligned in the plane of the epithelium. This planar polarity requires the transmembrane receptor Frizzled. Recent studies have shed new light on mechanisms that could be involved in generating or transducing the polarity signal.

Biology Open, 2015 Hair cells of the organ of Corti (OC) of the cochlea exhibit distinct planar polarity, both at the tissue and cellular level. Planar polarity at tissue level is manifested as uniform orientation of the hair cell stereociliary bundles. Hair cell intrinsic

Out-of-surface vortices in spherical shells [PDF]
, 2012 The interplay of topological defects with curvature is studied for out-of-surface magnetic vortices in thin spherical nanoshells. In the case of easy-surface Heisenberg magnet it is shown that the curvature of the underlying surface leads to a coupling ...

PRICKLE1-related early onset epileptic encephalopathy [PDF]
, 2018 The PRICKLE1 (Prickle Planar Cell Polarity Protein 1-MIM 608500) gene is involved in different phases of human development. The related diseases include autosomal recessive progressive myoclonus epilepsy - ataxia syndrome, neural tube defects associated ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 Formation of the anteroposterior and dorsoventral body axis in Caenorhabditis elegans depends on cortical flows and advection of polarity determinants. The role of this patterning mechanism in tissue polarization after formation of cell-cell contacts is ...

Cadherin-26 (CDH26) regulates airway epithelial cell cytoskeletal structure and polarity. [PDF]
, 2018 Polarization of the airway epithelial cells (AECs) in the airway lumen is critical to the proper function of the mucociliary escalator and maintenance of lung health, but the cellular requirements for polarization of AECs are poorly understood.

Arabidopsis SABRE and CLASP interact to stabilize cell division plane orientation and planar polarity [PDF]
, 2013 The orientation of cell division and the coordination of cell polarity within the plane of the tissue layer (planar polarity) contribute to shape diverse multicellular organisms. The root of Arabidopsis thaliana displays regularly oriented cell divisions,

Vangl as a Master Scaffold for Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity Signaling in Development and Disease
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The establishment of polarity within tissues and dynamic cellular morphogenetic events are features common to both developing and adult tissues, and breakdown of these programs is associated with diverse human diseases. Wnt/Planar cell polarity (Wnt/PCP)

Expression of avian prickle genes during early development and organogenesis [PDF]
, 2008 Chicken homologues of prickle-1 (pk-1) and prickle-2 (pk-2) were isolated to gain insight into the extent of planar cell polarity signaling during avian embryogenesis.
