Planar cell polarity: intracellular asymmetry and supracellular gradients of Frizzled
Open Biology, 2023 Planar cell polarity (PCP), the coordinated orientation of structures such as cilia, mammalian hairs or insect bristles, depends on at least two molecular systems.

Mathematical Modeling of Planar Polarity [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2005 Although it is well established that the Frizzled receptor is involved in the transmission of polarity information from cell to cell in the Drosophila cuticle, its precise role is still unclear. A recent paper by presents a mathematical model of a feedback loop-based mechanism for propagation of polarity between cells that can account for the known ...

The distribution of Dishevelled in convergently extending mesoderm [PDF]
, 2013 Convergent extension (CE) is a conserved morphogenetic movement that drives axial lengthening of the primary body axis and depends on the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway.

Planar cell polarity signaling in vertebrates [PDF]
BioEssays, 2007 AbstractPlanar cell polarity (PCP) refers to the polarization of a field of cells within the plane of a cell sheet. This form of polarization is required for diverse cellular processes in vertebrates, including convergent extension (CE), the establishment of PCP in epithelial tissues and ciliogenesis. Perhaps the most distinct example of vertebrate PCP

Meru couples planar cell polarity with apical-basal polarity during asymmetric cell division
eLife, 2017 Polarity is a shared feature of most cells. In epithelia, apical-basal polarity often coexists, and sometimes intersects with planar cell polarity (PCP), which orients cells in the epithelial plane. From a limited set of core building blocks (e.g.

On the importance of π–π stacking and cation–anion interactions in the construction of non-centrosymmetric networks of bromide salts of imidazolium cations bearing arene and polyfluoroarene rings [PDF]
, 2011 The salt 1-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridyl)-3-benzylimidazolium bromide crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna2₁. The structure arises from π–π stacking between the benzyl and tetrafluoropyridyl groups of the cations and cation–bromide ...

Planar cell polarity of the kidney [PDF]
Experimental Cell Research, 2016 Planar cell polarity (PCP) or tissue polarity refers to the polarization of tissues perpendicular to the apical-basal axis. Most epithelia, including the vertebrate kidney, show signs of planar polarity. In the kidney, defects in planar polarity are attributed to several disease states including multiple forms of cystic kidney disease.
