Planar cell polarity: keeping hairs straight is not so simple.

Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology - 1 Feb 2010

McNeill Helen

Abstract excerpt

The fur on a cat's back, the scales on a fish, or the bristles on a fly are all beautifully organized, with a high degree of polarization in their surface organization. Great progress has been made in understanding how individual cell polarity is established, but our understanding of how cells coordinate their polarity in forming coherent tissues is still fragmentary. The organization of cells in the plane of the...
