This paper demonstrates that UR214-9 disrupts septin hetero-octamerization, leading to aberrant structures and impairing cancer cell functions.

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

The paper develops a computational model to study spindle orientation by integrating pulling and pushing forces, showing pushing forces support spindle alignment in diverse cell shapes.

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.

This study shows that integrin function is required for maintaining cellular organisation and shape during Drosophila egg chamber morphogenesis, but not for pre-follicle cell polarity.

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.
