Figure 5. Planar cell polarity and tubular morphogenesis.

Figure 5

Planar cell polarity may help to establish normal tubular architecture through directional cell division (top left) and convergent extension/directional cell migration (bottom left). Disruption of these processes could potentially result in cyst formation (right). [Adapted from (96) and Menezes and Germino, Methods in Cell Biology 94: 273–297, 2009].
