Crosstalk between the plasma membrane and cell-cell adhesion maintains epithelial identity for correct polarised cell divisions

This study shows that plasma membrane and cell-cell adhesion interactions are essential for correct polarized cell divisions in mammalian epithelial cells, with S100A11 playing a key regulatory role.

Annexin A1 is a polarity cue that directs planar mitotic spindle orientation during mammalian epithelial morphogenesis

This study identifies Annexin A1 as a polarity cue that directs planar mitotic spindle orientation in mammalian epithelial cells by regulating LGN and NuMA cortical anchoring.
