    Cell polarity coordinates jellyfish larval development along a central axis

    Researchers have discovered that a single molecule, Wnt3, coordinates a two-step process of cell polarity orientation that enables jellyfish embryos to develop around a central axis, shedding light on how the body plans of early animals evolved.
