IFT172, also known as Selective Lim-domain Binding protein (SLB), is a component of the
intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex. In order to evaluate the biological role of the Ift172 gene, …

Highlights • Cell biology of apical cell polarity loss and newborn basal progenitor delamination.
• Cell biological basis of sustaining basal progenitor proliferation. • Human-specific gene …

Prominin-2 is a pentaspan membrane glycoprotein structurally related to the cholesterol-binding
protein prominin-1, which is expressed in epithelial and non-epithelial cells. Although …

The mechanisms of organ size control remain poorly understood. A key question is how
cells collectively sense the overall status of a tissue. We addressed this problem focusing on …

In this chapter we provide a set of different protocols for the ultrastructural analysis of
amphibian (Xenopus, axolotl) tissues, mostly of embryonic origin. For Xenopus these methods …

Prominin-1/CD133 (Prom-1) is a commonly used marker of neuronal, vascular, hematopoietic
and other stem cells, yet little is known about its biological role and importance in vivo. …

Drosophila Cornichon (Cni) is the founding member of a conserved protein family that also
includes Erv14p, an integral component of the COPII-coated vesicles that mediate cargo …

… We thank the late Rupert Timple for laminin α1 antiserum, Dr Michaela Wilsch‐Braeuninger
and Katja Langenfeld for help with some experiments, and the Light Microscopy and Animal …

Primary cilia are cellular surface projections enriched in receptors and signaling molecules,
acting as signaling hubs that respond to stimuli. Malfunctions in primary cilia have been …
