Learning a conserved mechanism for early neuroectoderm morphogenesis
Matthew Lefebvre, Jonathan Colen, Nikolas Claussen +6
Morphogenesis is the process whereby the body of an organism develops its target shape. The morphogen BMP is known to play a conserved role across bilaterian organisms in determini…
Topological structure and dynamics of three dimensional active nematics
Guillaume Duclos, Raymond Adkins, Debarghya Banerjee +13
Point-like motile topological defects control the universal dynamics of diverse two-dimensional active nematics ranging from shaken granular rods to cellular monolayers. A comparab…
Geometry of epithelial cells provides a robust method for image based inference of stress within tissues
Nicholas Noll, Sebastian J. Streichan, Boris I. Shraiman
Cellular mechanics plays an important role in epithelial morphogenesis, a process wherein cells reshape and rearrange to produce tissue-scale deformations. However, the study of ti…
Quantification of myosin distribution predicts global morphogenetic flow in the fly embryo
Sebastian J Streichan, Matthew F Lefebvre, Nicholas Noll +2
During embryogenesis tissue layers continuously rearrange and fold into specific shapes. Developmental biology identified patterns of gene expression and cytoskeletal regulation un…
Active Tension Network model reveals an exotic mechanical state realized in epithelial tissues
Nicholas Noll, Madhav Mani, Idse Heemskerk +2
It is now widely recognized that mechanical interactions between cells play a crucial role in epithelial morphogenesis, yet understanding the mechanisms through which stress and de…
Collective and single cell behavior in epithelial contact inhibition
Alberto Puliafito, Lars Hufnagel, Pierre Neveu +4
Control of cell proliferation is a fundamental aspect of tissue physiology central to morphogenesis, wound healing and cancer. Although many of the molecular genetic factors are no…
