Altered paracrine signaling from the injured knee joint impairs postnatal long bone growth
eLife, 2017 Regulation of organ growth is a poorly understood process. In the long bones, the growth plates (GPs) drive elongation by generating a scaffold progressively replaced by bone.

Hippo signaling in organ size control [PDF]
Genes & Development, 2007 The control of organ (or organism) size is a fundamental aspect of life that has long captured human imagination. What makes an elephant grow a million times larger than a mouse? How do our two hands develop independently of each other yet reach very similar size? How does a liver precisely regenerate its original mass when two-thirds of it is removed?

Colony-level differences in the scaling rules governing wood ant compound eye structure [PDF]
, 2016 Differential organ growth during development is essential for adults to maintain the correct proportions and achieve their characteristic shape. Organs scale with body size, a process known as allometry that has been studied extensively in a range of ...

Exiting the dark side: A vital role for Caspase-3 in Yap signaling
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2018 Caspase-3 is known to play a critical function in the process of apoptosis. Recently, we have discovered a non-apoptotic role of Caspase-3 as a key regulator of cell proliferation and organ size.

Differential scaling within an insect compound eye [PDF]
, 2016 Environmental and genetic influences cause individuals of a species to differ in size. As they do so, organ size and shape are scaled to available resources whilst maintaining function.

Forces controlling organ growth and size
Mechanisms of Development, 2017 One of the fundamental questions in developmental biology is what determines the final size and shape of an organ. Recent research strongly emphasizes that besides cell-cell communication, biophysical principals govern organ development. The architecture and mechanics of a tissue guide cellular processes such as movement, growth or differentiation ...

Mutations in the PERIANTHIA gene of Arabidopsis specifically alter floral organ number and initiation pattern [PDF]
, 1996 An open question in developmental biology is how groups of dividing cells can generate specific numbers of segments or organs. We describe the phenotypic effects of mutations in PERIANTHIA, a gene specifically required for floral organ patterning in ...
