“…In both the spinal cord and cerebral cortex, as in the majority of DT divisions, LGN localizes to lateral domains, where LGN loss increases oblique/perpendicular divisions, suggesting that LGN normally promotes planar divisions (Morin et al, 2007;Konno et al, 2008;Peyre et al, 2011;Shitamukai et al, 2011). However, in epidermis, we and others have shown that LGN forms an apical complex with Insc, Gαi3, NuMA, dynactin and Par3 and that LGN loss leads to loss of perpendicular divisions, impaired Notch signaling and lethal defects in epidermal barrier formation and differentiation (Lechler and Fuchs, 2005;Poulson and Lechler, 2010;Williams et al, 2011Williams et al, , 2014.…”
