Abstract:
:Mammary epithelial phagocytosis is critical for removal of apoptotic cells during involution, but the mechanisms governing this process are largely unknown. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Akhtar et al. (2016) provide insight into mechanisms regulating involution, demonstrating that Rac1 drives the switch from differentiation to phagocytosis in mammary epithelium.

abstract::Secreted proteins of the Wnt family affect axon guidance, asymmetric cell division, and cell fate. We show here that C. elegans Wnts acting through Frizzled receptors can shape axon and dendrite trajectories by reversing the anterior-posterior polarity of neurons.
