This paper shows that aPKC phosphorylates Cdc42 to regulate its own asymmetric localization and cell polarity in C. elegans zygotes.

The paper shows that cell-autonomous timing, not cell-extrinsic signals, drives the segmentation clock's wave pattern in vertebrates.

The paper shows that somite surface tension adjusts AP lengths to ensure left-right symmetry in zebrafish embryos, independent of the segmentation clock.
