Epithelial polarity: the ins and outs of the fly epidermis.
Epithelial cells must polarize and establish apical and basolateral membrane domains during development. Recent experiments have shed light on how apical-basal polarity is generated during cellularization in Drosophila, when around 6000 epithelial cells are created synchronously from a syncytium.
