Abstract excerpt
Planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling orients epithelial cells along an in-plane tissue axis and is a required feature of embryonic development in bilaterians. In PCP signaling, distinct molecular subcomplexes segregate to opposite sides of each cell, where they interact across intercellular junctions to form highly polarized clusters. How signal amplification and error correction occur to achieve the observed...
