Determining the role of the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin in contact-mediated cell polarization

<p> Early embryonic cells in many species polarize radially by distinguishing their contacted and contact-free surfaces. Radial polarization is a critical patterning event driven by cell-cell contact and is required for developmental processes, such as the first differentiation event in the ea...
