| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway coordinates cell polarization within an epithelial sheet in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Recently, using a combination of experiment and computer simulation, we found an intriguing feature of sple overexpression clones. In small clones, polarity inside the clones was never reversed, but the PCP was reversed inside larger clones. In this study, we modified the mathematical model of PCP that we made before, and performed experiments and computer simulations to understand a molecular mechanism underlying the above phenotype.
