E2f3 is critical for normal cellular proliferation

PO Humbert, R Verona, JM Trimarchi… - Genes & …, 2000 - genesdev.cshlp.org
E2F is a family of transcription factors that regulate both cellular proliferation and differentiation.
To establish the role of E2F3 in vivo, we generated an E2f3 mutant mouse strain. E2F3-…

[HTML][HTML] A network of PDZ-containing proteins regulates T cell polarity and morphology during migration and immunological synapse formation

…, MJ Smyth, MH Kershaw, PK Darcy, PO Humbert… - Immunity, 2005 - cell.com
T cell shape is dictated by the selective recruitment of molecules to different regions of the
cell (polarity) and is integral to every aspect of T cell function, from migration to cytotoxicity. …

[PDF][PDF] Epidermal wound repair is regulated by the planar cell polarity signaling pathway

…, TA Papenfuss, JN Murdoch, PO Humbert… - Developmental cell, 2010 - cell.com
The mammalian PCP pathway regulates diverse developmental processes requiring coordinated
cellular movement, including neural tube closure and cochlear stereociliary orientation…

[PDF][PDF] E2F4 is essential for normal erythrocyte maturation and neonatal viability

PO Humbert, C Rogers, S Ganiatsas, RL Landsberg… - Molecular cell, 2000 - cell.com
The retinoblastoma protein (pRB) plays a key role in the control of normal development and
proliferation through the regulation of the E2F transcription factors. We generated a mutant …

[HTML][HTML] SCRIB expression is deregulated in human prostate cancer, and its deficiency in mice promotes prostate neoplasia

…, DA Tuveson, R Simon, PO Humbert - The Journal of …, 2011 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Loss of cellular polarity is a hallmark of epithelial cancers, raising the possibility that regulators
of polarity have a role in suppressing tumorigenesis. The Scribble complex is one of at …

Multiscale modeling of form and function

AJ Engler, PO Humbert, B Wehrle-Haller, VM Weaver - Science, 2009 - science.org
Topobiology posits that morphogenesis is driven by differential adhesive interactions
among heterogeneous cell populations. This paradigm has been revised to include force-…

An in vivo large-scale chemical screening platform using Drosophila for anti-cancer drug discovery

…, HE Richardson, PO Humbert… - Disease models & …, 2013 - journals.biologists.com
Anti-cancer drug development involves enormous expenditure and risk. For rapid and
economical identification of novel, bioavailable anti-tumour chemicals, the use of appropriate in …

Asymmetric cell division of T cells upon antigen presentation uses multiple conserved mechanisms

…, RW Johnstone, MJ Smyth, PO Humbert… - The Journal of …, 2010 - journals.aai.org
Asymmetric cell division is a potential means by which cell fate choices during an immune
response are orchestrated. Defining the molecular mechanisms that underlie asymmetric …

The Scribble and Par complexes in polarity and migration: friends or foes?

PO Humbert, LE Dow, SM Russell - Trends in cell biology, 2006 - cell.com
The Par complex [consisting of Bazooka (also called Par3), Par6 and aPKC] is a well-described
regulator of cell polarity whose role in many aspects of cell morphogenesis is under …

The Scribble–Dlg–Lgl polarity module in development and cancer: from flies to man

I Elsum, L Yates, PO Humbert… - Essays in …, 2012 - portlandpress.com
The Scribble, Par and Crumbs modules were originally identified in the vinegar (fruit) fly,
Drosophila melanogaster, as being critical regulators of apico–basal cell polarity. In the present …
