This award supports research to identify and characterize directional cues that coordinate Planar Cell Polarity across the mouse epidermis, aiming to understand mechanisms of long-range cell polarity coordination during embryonic development.
Description
The project aims to identify and study directional cues that pattern Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) across the mouse epidermis to reveal mechanisms that coordinate long-range polarity. The research leverages natural variants and a candidate approach to address critical questions in the PCP field and shed light on fundamental mechanisms that pattern embryonic tissues.
