The primordial germ cells (PGCs) of a recently metamorphosed juvenile Synaptula hydriformis occur with somatic cells in the germinal epithelium of the gonad. As part of the epithelium, PGCs rest on a ...

We show that atypical PKCι, which plays a critical role in the establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity, is genomically amplified and overexpressed in serous epithelial ovarian ...

The asymmetric localization of proteins in the plasma membrane domains of eukaryotic cells is a fundamental manifestation of cell polarity that is central to multicellular organization and ...

Epithelial cells, which line the surfaces of blood vessels and organs, possess a feature called apicobasal polarity that enables them to distinguish between their exterior and interior environment by ...

Photo Caption: A human melanoma cell exhibits a specific polarity which helps attaching to the endothelial layer of the blood vessel (ezrin stained in orange). After the word “cancer”, perhaps the ...

A gene called Prkci can point cells in the right direction, according to a new study in Developmental Biology. In the study, USC Stem Cell researcher In Kyoung Mah from the laboratory of Francesca ...
