This study shows Fasciclin 2 (Fas2) supports epithelial reintegration through two modes, with Discs large (Dlg1) stabilizing the cortical Fas2 pool.

The paper surveys instructors and analyzes exams to find that visual models are underrepresented in assessments despite their importance for teaching molecular biology.

The paper investigates two Fas2 null alleles in Drosophila to determine which causes a true loss of function, finding that Fas2EB112 is enhanced by Nrg14, while Fas2G0336 is suppressed.

The paper shows that cell division orientation in a proliferating epithelium is controlled by distinct mechanisms for apical-basal and planar axes, independent of interphase cell shape.
