How the shape of embryos and organs emerges during development is a fundamental
question that has fascinated scientists for centuries. Tissue dynamics arise from a small set …

During embryonic development, a simple ball of cells re-shapes itself into the elaborate
body plan of an animal. This requires dramatic cell shape changes and cell movements …

Actomyosin networks are some of the most crucial force-generating components present in
develo** tissues. The contractile forces generated by these networks are harnessed …

The partitioning of cells into groups or 'compartments' separated by straight and sharp
boundaries is important for tissue formation in animal development. Cells from neighboring …

The regionalisation of growing tissues into compartments that do not mix is thought to be a
common motif of animal development. Compartments and compartmental boundaries were …

Planar cell polarity and anisotropic cell behavior play critical roles in large-scale epithelial
morphogenesis, homeostasis, wound repair, and regeneration. Cell–Cell communication …

Position and dynamics of cells are essential pieces of information for the study of embryonic
development. Unfortunately, this information is lost in many cell gene expression analysis …

Cell intercalation is a key cell behaviour of morphogenesis and wound healing, where local
cell neighbour exchanges can cause dramatic tissue deformations such as body axis …
