Microtubule-templated actin assembly by septin9 drives apical expansion of epithelial cells

2026-05-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cells dynamically regulate the size of their apical domain during epithelial morphogenesis. Multiciliated cells (MCCs) represent an extreme case, undergoing massive apical expansion to accommodate hundreds of basal bodies that generate an array of motile cilia. While actin-generated forces drive this expansion, the molecular mechanisms that govern actin assembly and organization remain poorly un...
