Extrinsic polarity cues control lamination versus cluster-based organisation in vertebrate retinal development

Christina Schlagheck, Xenia Podlipensky, Cassian Afting, Ronald Curticean, Irene U. Wacker, Rasmus R. Schröder, Venera Weinhardt, Lucie Žílová, Joachim Wittbrodt

This study shows that extrinsic polarity cues determine whether retinal organoids develop a laminated epithelium or cluster-based organization, revealing plasticity in vertebrate retinal development.
