Abstract

All animal cells have a polarity, that is, different proteins are clustered in distinct domains of the plasma membrane and these regions carry out different jobs. As Peifer discusses in a lively Perspective, new work (Bilder et al.) identifies some of the molecular characters that direct proteins to their different cellular destinations.
