title: Cell polarity: keeping worms LeGaL.
abstract: The protein Lethal giant larvae (LGL) regulates cell polarity in diverse animal models. Now, an LGL orthologue has been identified in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and is shown to function redundantly with a worm-specific polarity protein, PAR-2.
