Emergence of functional polarity in a tubular epithelium

Epithelial tubes often have a functional polarity written along their proximo-distal (P-D) axis, with different segments of specialised cell-types carrying out distinct physiological activities. With a handful of notable exceptions, we know very little about how P-D axes and segment-specific differentiation are regulated during organogenesis.

The major objective of this project is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that pattern and maintain functional polarity along the P-D axis in a structurally simple, but functionally sophisticated epithelial tube: the insect renal tubule.

The project will be carried out in the laboratory of Barry Denholm (Biomedical Sciences, University of Edinburgh)
