Planar cell polarity-directed cell crawling drives polarized hair follicle morphogenesis
Rishabh Sharan, Xinxin Du, Liliya Leybova…·Danelle Devenport
The paper investigates how Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) directs cell crawling during hair placode morphogenesis, showing that PCP drives anterior-directed crawling at the basal surface, generating counter-rotational cell motion at the apical surface.
