Vascular networks are formed and maintained through a multitude of angiogenic processes,
such as sprouting, anastomosis and pruning. Only recently has it become possible to study …

The tracheal system of insects is a network of epithelial tubules that functions as a
respiratory organ to supply oxygen to various target organs. Target-derived signaling inputs …

Nervous system function relies on the polarized architecture of neurons, established by
directional transport of pre-and postsynaptic cargoes. While delivery of postsynaptic …

Therapeutic targeting of angiogenesis in glioblastoma has yielded mixed outcomes.
Investigation of tumor-associated angiogenesis has focused on the factors that stimulate the …

During organismal development, organs and systems are built following a genetic blueprint
that produces structures capable of performing specific physiological functions. Interestingly …

The mechanisms underlying the construction of an air-liquid interface in respiratory organs
remain elusive. Here, we use live imaging and genetic analysis to describe the …

The creation of cellular tubes is one of the most vital developmental processes, resulting in
the formation of most organ types. Cells have co‐opted a number of different mechanisms …

We use an ultrafast diode-pumped semiconductor disk laser (SDL) to demonstrate several
applications in multiphoton microscopy. The ultrafast SDL is based on an optically pumped …

Drosophila trachea is a premier model to study tube morphogenesis. After the formation of
continuous tubes, tube maturation follows. Tracheal tube maturation starts with an apical …

Endocytosis is a means for the cell to sample its environment for nutrients and regulate
plasma membrane (PM) composition and area. Whereas the majority of internalized cargo is …
