    Glossary Planar Cell Polarity

    coordinated orientation of cells within tissue plane

    Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) refers to the coordinated orientation of cells along a tissue plane, rather than just up and down. This is crucial for various biological processes, such as the uniform direction of hair growth on the skin or the proper alignment of cells in the inner ear for hearing.
