Embryonic development hinges on effective coordination of molecular events across space
and time. Waves have recently emerged as constituting an ubiquitous mechanism that …

Cell signalling engenders cells with the capability to receive and process information from
the intracellular and extracellular environments, trigger and execute biological responses …

Biomolecular condensates are broadly implicated in both normal cellular regulation and
disease. Consequently, several chemical biology and optogenetic approaches have been …

Optogenetic tools can provide fine spatial and temporal control over many biological
processes. Yet the development of new light-switchable protein variants remains …

Optogenetics is a technique employing natural or genetically engineered photoreceptors in
transgene organisms to manipulate biological activities with light. Light can be turned on or …

Developmental patterning networks are regulated by multiple inputs and feedback
connections that rapidly reshape gene expression, limiting the information that can be …

Technological advances have driven many recent advances in developmental biology. Light
sheet imaging can reveal single-cell dynamics in living three-dimensional tissues, whereas …

Cell collectives must dynamically adapt to different biological contexts. For instance, in
homeostatic conditions, epithelia must establish a barrier between body compartments and …

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) plays a crucial role in regulating collective cell
behaviors observed in diverse biological phenomena. Emerging studies have shed light on …

Simple Summary The cell cycle is divided in four phases, the G1 phase for growth in cell
size and increased protein biosynthesis, the S phase for the synthesis and replication of …
