How compartments talk: Compartment coupling guides cochlear development. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyMorphogens cooperate to guide development of the inner ear cochlea, but how do compartments communicate? A recent study in PLOS Biology reveals how planar cell polarity of individual cells is integrated across distinct regional compartments to ensure ...

Cell biology of the leaf epidermis: Fate specification, morphogenesis, and coordination
The Plant Cell, 2021 Abstract As the outermost layer of plants, the epidermis serves as a critical interface between plants and the environment. During leaf development, the differentiation of specialized epidermal cell types, including stomatal guard cells, pavement cells, and trichomes, occurs simultaneously, each providing unique and pivotal functions for

Morphogenesis: Unravelling the cell biology of hole closure [PDF]
Current Biology, 2001 Recent studies show that the underlying amnioserosa works actively to help bring together the two epithelial sheets and close the embryonic hole during dorsal closure in fruitfly development.

Mechanisms of bacterial morphogenesis: Evolutionary cell biology approaches provide new insights [PDF]
BioEssays, 2015 How Darwin's “endless forms most beautiful” have evolved remains one of the most exciting questions in biology. The significant variety of bacterial shapes is most likely due to the specific advantages they confer with respect to the diverse environments they occupy.

Morphogenesis in Kyoto: A Confluence of Cell and Developmental Biology [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2010 Understanding morphogenesis is the ultimate multidisciplinary (ad)venture. Three-dimensional tissues are generated from the actions of genes, biochemical pathways, and cells that form multicellular networks and interact with their biomechanical environment.

A specialized bone marrow microenvironment for fetal haematopoiesis
Nature Communications, 2022 The colonization of bone marrow by haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells is critical for lifelong blood cell formation. Here the authors report distinct features of fetal bone marrow and show that artery-derived signals promote haematopoietic ...

Mechanisms of Development, 2020 Abstract For decades, Drosophila gastrulation has been at the forefront of investigations into the molecular and cell biological principles by which tissues are formed and shaped into organs. Recent work has started to uncover how evolution shaped the elements and the processes of gastrulation during the early divergence of Drosophila and other flies.
