Function of Spectrin cytoskeleton in regulating epithelial architecture

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Epithelial cells surround every organ of the human body and about 85% of cancers arise from epithelial cells. These cells are highly polarized having distinct apical and basolateral sides; they are tightly connected to each other through cell-cell junctions. Epithelial morphogenesis is important for organogenesis and pivotal for carcinogenesis, although the mechanism is poorly understood. Drosophila FE represents...
