For cells to form tissues and organs, they have to coordinate individual
cell shape with tissue morphogenesis. To achieve that, cellular adhesion and
actin-myosin cytoskeleton contractility need to be coordinated from the cell to
the tissue level. In my thesis I focused on the hypothesis that Protein Kinase
Cs (PKCs), has central RhoGTPase signaling effectors, are important
regulators of cell shape and tissue integrity during morphogenesis.
