Epithelium-mesenchyme: a balancing act of RhoGAP and RhoGEF

Current Biology : CB
Michel Labouesse

Abstract

Transitions between epithelium and mesenchyme, in either direction, contribute repeatedly to animal development. Three striking papers suggest that distinct components with opposite activities, which together form a complex known for its role in cytokinesis, control these opposite transitions.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.
