Is a persistent global bias necessary for the establishment of planar cell polarity?

Planar cell polarity (PCP)--the coordinated polarisation of a whole field of cells within the plane of a tissue-relies on the interaction of three modules: a global module that couples individual cellular polarity to the tissue axis, a local module that aligns the axis of polarisation of neighbourin...
