SUMMARY

A diverse group of developmental biologists who study cell polarity gathered in late March 2009 at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan, for a symposium entitled `Shape and Polarity'. The organizers, Masatoshi Takeichi, Fumio Matsuzaki, Hitoshi Sawa [RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology (CDB), Kobe, Japan] and Carl-Philipp Heisenberg (Max Planck Institute, Dresden, Germany), put together an engaging program that highlighted recent progress towards understanding the mechanisms of cell polarization during development, and the functions of cell polarity in shaping development.
