Phosphorylation of Rab11-FIP2 regulates polarity in MDCK cells.

abstract：:During organogenesis, different cell types need to work together to generate functional multicellular structures. To study this process, we made use of the genetically tractable fly retina, with a focus on the mechanisms that coordinate morphogenesis between the different epithelial cell types that make up the optical...
