Abstract:
:Some epithelia contain cells with multiple motile cilia that beat in a concerted manner. New tools and experimental systems have facilitated molecular studies of cilium biogenesis and the coordinated planar polarization of cilia that leads to their concerted motility. A recent elegant study using embryonic frog epidermis demonstrates that Dishevelled, a key regulator of both the Wnt-beta-catenin and planar cell polarity pathways, controls both the docking and planar polarization of ciliary basal bodies.

杂志文章abstract::The nuclear envelope (NE) breaks down reversibly and reassembles at mitosis. Two models of mitotic nuclear membrane disassembly and reformation have emerged from studies of NE dynamics in somatic cells and egg extracts. One model suggests that nuclear membranes fragment reversibly by vesiculation, producing NE-derived...
