A method to generate the surface cell layer of the 3D virtual shoot apex from apical initials
Plant Methods, 2017 Background The development of cell pattern in the surface cell layer of the shoot apex can be investigated in vivo by use of a time-lapse confocal images, showing naked meristem in 3D in successive times. However, how this layer is originated from apical

Simulations demonstrate a simple network to be sufficient to control branch point selection, smooth muscle and vasculature formation during lung branching morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2012 Proper lung functioning requires not only a correct structure of the conducting airway tree, but also the simultaneous development of smooth muscles and vasculature.

Tissue stiffening coordinates morphogenesis by triggering collective cell migration in vivo
Nature, 2018 Collective cell migration is essential for morphogenesis, tissue remodelling and cancer invasion. In vivo, groups of cells move in an orchestrated way through tissues.

Loss of the transcription factor RBPJ induces disease-promoting properties in brain pericytes
Nature Communications, 2019 Pericytes are perivascular cells essential for blood-brain barrier maintenance. Here Diéguez-Hurtado et al. show that depletion of the transcription factor RBPJ in pericytes affects their molecular identity and disturbs endothelial cell behaviour ...

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals functionally specialized vascular endothelium in brain
eLife, 2022 The blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits the entry of leukocytes and potentially harmful substances from the circulation into the central nervous system (CNS). While BBB defects are a hallmark of many neurological disorders, the cellular heterogeneity at the

Accumulation of muscle ankyrin repeat protein transcript reveals local activation of primary myotube endcompartments during muscle morphogenesis [PDF]
, 1997 The characteristic shapes and positions of each individual body muscle are established during the process of muscle morphogenesis in response to patterning information from the surrounding mesenchyme. Throughout muscle morphogenesis, primary myotubes are

A modified Oster-Murray-Harris mechanical model of morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2013 There are two main modeling paradigms for biological pattern formation in developmental biology: chemical prepattern models and cell aggregation models. This paper focuses on an example of a cell aggregation model, the mechanical model developed by Oster,

Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]
, 2008 Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

Protection of Artemisia annua roots and leaves against oxidative stress induced by arsenic
Biologia Plantarum, 2017 The present study was conducted to examine differential responses of roots and leaves of Artemisia annua to different arsenic concentrations (50, 100, and 150 μΜ) and treatment durations (1, 3, 5, or 7 d).
