Scientists have uncovered a key mechanism in jellyfish embryos that provides new insights into how the body plan of these animals develops along a central axis from their ‘head’ to ‘tail’. The study, ...

Planar cell polarity (PCP) mechanisms orchestrate the uniform orientation of cells within the plane of a tissue, playing a pivotal role in embryonic development, tissue organisation and the ...

Cell asymmetry and polarity are fundamental processes in development and are essential for the organization and differentiation of tissues and organs. During embryogenesis, cells undergo asymmetric ...
