Oct. 4, 2021 How do apples grow that distinctive shape? Now, a team of mathematicians and physicists have used observations, lab experiments, theory and computation to understand the growth and form of the cusp ...
Dec. 15, 2023 Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that can reproduce and predict the patterns associated with gastrulation in a chicken ...
May 13, 2022 How do our cells organize themselves to give their final shape to our organs? The answer lies in morphogenesis, the set of mechanisms that regulate their distribution in space during embryonic ...
Nov. 2, 2022 Researchers have discovered that the affinity between cells can control complex developmental ...
Feb. 11, 2022 How are the different shapes of our organs and tissues generated? To answer this question, a team forced muscle cells to spontaneously reproduce simple shapes in vitro. By confining them on adhesion ...
Mar. 16, 2023 A cytokinin-mediated, proliferation-based mechanism is involved in the generation and maintenance of cell-type specific tissue boundaries during vascular development in Arabidopsis roots. ...
Aug. 24, 2022 Scientists have revealed how the actin cytoskeleton in cells is controlled in an evolutionarily distant, pathogenic Leishmania parasite. The results also provide tools to fight leishmaniasis and ...
Dec. 22, 2023 Tiny things matter -- for instance, one amino acid can completely alter the architecture of the cell. Researchers have now investigated the structure and mechanics of the main component of the ...
Sep. 6, 2023 A team of researchers has revealed that the Dumpy protein, a component of extracellular matrices -- or ECM -- is the key factor in regulating the stereotypic origami-like folding of wing-cell sheets. ...
Oct. 13, 2021 Direct evidence that microtubules function as mechano-sensors and regulate the intracellular transport of molecules has been reported, leading to new possibilities in the fields of biomechanics, ...
