Symmetry Breaking in an Edgeless Epithelium by Fat2-Regulated Microtubule Polarity

Planar cell polarity (PCP) information is a critical determinant of organ morphogenesis. While PCP in bounded epithelial sheets is increasingly well understood, how PCP is organized in tubular and acinar tissues is not. Drosophila egg chambers (follicles) are an acinus-like “edgeless epithelium” and...
