Are you attending #EMBOcellPolarity25? Our postdoc @tushnakapoor.bsky.social will talk about her work on how #polarity controls #epiboly movements in #zebrafish, TOMORROW at Session 1, 11:15am! 🐟

How does Lgl help "control" apical-basal polarity, as a substrate of aPKC? This paper gives a much needed mechanistic insight! Featuring the important role of Cdc42 and Crumbs too. One of my favourite parts!

Congrats to Dr. @mcobbaut.bsky.social. It was wonderful collaborating with you!!

Capture, mutual inhibition and release mechanism for aPKC–Par6 and its multisite polarity substrate Lgl - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Combining structural, biochemical, cellular and in vivo assays, the authors uncover the mechanism for capture and multisite phosphorylation of lethal (2) giant larvae by the atypical protein kinase C ...

Excited to share our latest publication 🚨

We reveal insights into how a key protein kinase orchestrates cell polarity, uncovering unexpected molecular behaviours that shape this essential biological process!

Great work from everyone involved at the @crick.ac.uk and @polarityi3s.bsky.social
