During the development of islets, cells are organized into a 3D architecture through a mechanism called planar polarity. Bader et al. investigated β-cell expression of a planar-polarity protein ...

Three recent papers have reported the surprising finding that Cdc42 and Rac1, both of which are known to be involved in maintaining apico-basolateral polarity of epithelial cells, can each bind to ...

The researchers’ work in zebrafish revealed how muscle cells have an intrinsic timekeeping mechanism that regulates protein turnover, modulating muscle growth and function. At night, the muscle ...
