Microtubule organization is determined by the shape of epithelial cells
Interphase microtubule organization creates a structural scaffold for cargo delivery determining cell polarity and cell shape. Here the authors show that in Drosophilaepithelia the orientation of microtubules responds to cell shape, rather than the converse, and develop a simple model to mimic this...
