This paper shows that cell cycle oscillations in a polarity network allow cells to switch polarity states in response to morphogenetic cues by modulating feedback and stability.

This study shows that optimized dimerization of the PAR-2 RING domain enables cooperative and selective membrane recruitment, enhancing robustness and responsiveness in cell polarization.

The paper shows that nonlinear spatial cue readout in C. elegans zygotes ensures robust asymmetric cell division despite input variation.

The paper identifies sVUM1 octopaminergic neurons in Drosophila larvae that modulate odor discrimination by targeting multiple extrinsic inputs in the mushroom body calyx.
