Tissue mechanics and systemic signaling safeguard epithelial tissue against spindle misorientation
Bosveld et al. identified a multilayered system of safeguards that reuses homeostatic
mechanisms to maintain epithelial integrity and cell number in the face of spindle
misorientation. This work delin...
