Wingless acts as a morphogen in Drosophila wing discs, where it specifies cell fates and
controls growth several cell diameters away from its site of expression. Thus, despite being …

Ezrin, a member of a family of proteins involved in the interaction of the microfilament cytoskeleton
with the plasma membrane, plays a role in membrane translocation in gastric parietal …

The transport of the two mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) from the secretory
pathway to the endocytic pathway is mediated by carrier vesicles coated with the AP-1 Golgi-specific …

The use of the semiconductor quantum dots (QD) as biolabels for both ensemble and single-molecule
tracking requires the development of simple and versatile methods to target …

Notch signalling is involved in numerous cellular processes during development and throughout
adult life. Although ligands and receptors are largely expressed in the whole organism, …

Cell junctions play key roles in epithelial integrity. During development, when epithelia
undergo extensive morphogenesis, these junctions must be remodeled in order to maintain …

Although the molecular mechanisms governing abscission of isolated cells have largely
been elucidated, those underlying the abscission of epithelial progenitors surrounded by …

Cell-cell signaling is a central process in the formation of multicellular organisms. Notch (N)
is the receptor of a conserved signaling pathway that regulates numerous developmental …

Cell–cell signalling is an essential process in the formation of multicellular organisms. Notch
is the receptor of an evolutionarily conserved signalling pathway regulating numerous …

Barrier functions of proliferative epithelia are constantly challenged by mechanical and chemical
constraints. How epithelia respond to and cope with disturbances of barrier functions to …
