[Planar polarity in mammals: similarity and divergence with Drosophila Melanosgaster].

Abstract excerpt

Planar cell polarity (PCP) genes were originally identified in invertebrates (Drosophila Melanogaster) for their role in the uniform orientation of a structure within the plane of the epithelium (hair, group of cells). During the last five years, numerous studies have shown that vertebrate, but more importantly, mammalian homologues of some of these genes are involved in various developmental processes such as...
