SUMMARY:Turning cells inside out: how epithelial cells polarise and why th
 is goes wrong in cancer - Professor Daniel St Johnston\, The Gurdon Instit
 ute\, Department of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:Most of our tissue and organs are composed of cells that adher
 e to each other to form epithelial sheets and tubes that act as a barriers
  between our insides and the outside world. In order to form these sheets\
 , all of the cells must first polarise in the same direction\, with their 
 apical surfaces facing outside\, and a loss of this polarity is a hallmark
  of cancer. I will discuss how we think that epithelial cells polarise and
  why we don't understand as much as we thought.
