Assembly and positioning of actomyosin rings by contractility and planar cell polarity

Assembly and positioning of actomyosin rings by contractility and planar cell polarity

The actomyosin cytoskeleton is a primary force-generating mechanism in morphogenesis, thus a robust spatial control of cytoskeletal positioning is essential. In this report, we demonstrate that actomyosin contractility and planar cell polarity (PCP) interact in post-mitotic Ciona notochord cells to...
