The paper shows that Girdin links adherens junctions to actin in Drosophila tracheal cells, controlling intercalation pace and developing a genetic tool for actin depolymerisation.

This study shows EPHA1 and EPHB4 regulate epithelial morphogenesis by controlling mitotic spindle orientation through ligand-dependent basolateral localization, independent of their catalytic activity.

This study identifies the molecular mechanisms by which Yurt binds to the lateral membrane in Drosophila embryos, highlighting its role in cell polarization and tissue morphogenesis.

This study identifies novel effector proteins of EPH receptors and shows they regulate cell polarity and morphogenesis through PAR-3 and CSK signaling.
