Intercellular signaling molecules, known as morphogens, act at a long range in developing
tissues to provide spatial information and control properties such as cell fate and tissue …

Embryo development requires biochemical signalling to generate patterns of cell fates and
active mechanical forces to drive tissue shape changes. However, how these processes are …

In development, tissue shape changes and gene expression patterns give rise to
morphogenesis. Understanding tissue shape changes requires the analysis of mechanical …

Greater diversity in functional morphology should be associated with the evolution of greater
ontogenetic diversity, an expectation difficult to test in most long-lived wild organisms. In the …

ABSTRACT In this Perspective, our 2024 Pathway to Independence Fellows provide their
thoughts on the future of their field. Covering topics as diverse as plant development, tissue …

Notch signaling is a ubiquitous and versatile intercellular signaling system that drives
collective behaviors and pattern formation in biological tissues. During embryonic …

In amniotes, embryonic tissues originate from multipotent epiblast cells, arranged in a
mosaic of presumptive territories. How these domains fated to specific lineages become …

Synchronization of mobile oscillators occurs in numerous contexts, including physical,
chemical, biological and engineered systems. In vertebrate embryonic development, a …

During the last few decades, developmental pattern formation has evolved from being a
descriptive discipline to a quantitative one. That process has been possible due to the …

The influence of the biophysical environment in known models of cell patterning is an area
of growing interest to determine how to properly control cell fate and recapitulate tissue …
