Programme |
Cell polarity and vesicle sorting are fundamental biological processes that impact stem cell function, cancer, bacterial and viral infections, developmental defects, and neurological diseases. Early screens in model organisms identified many conserved genes necessary for cell polarization, but initially these were not recognized as playing any role in vesicular transport. However, interdisciplinary studies from a number of laboratories have revealed exciting and unexpected links between cell polarity establishment and membrane traffic.
