Mechanochemical Control of Symmetry Breaking in the Caenorhabditis elegans Zygote

Cell polarity is the asymmetric organization of cellular components along defined axes. A key requirement for polarization is the ability of the cell to break symmetry and achieve a spatially biased organization. Despite different triggering cues in various systems, symmetry breaking (SB) usually re...
