USC Stem Cell Seminar: Keith Mostov, University of California, San Francisco

Speaker: Keith Mostov, University of California, San Francisco

Talk Title: A molecular switch for the orientation of epithelial cell polarization

Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series

Abstract: The formation of epithelial tissues containing lumens requires not only the apical-basolateral polarization of cells, but also the coordinated orientation of this polarity such that the apical surfaces of neighboring cells all point towards the central lumen. I will describe a molecular switch mechanism controlling polarity orientation. Inhibition of this switch mechanism results in the development instead of collective front-rear polarization and motility.
