Precisely controlled cell deformations are key to cell migration, division and tissue
morphogenesis, and have been implicated in cell differentiation during development, as well …

Tissues have a natural capacity to replace dying cells and to heal wounds. This ability
resides in resident stem cells, which self-renew, preserve, and repair their tissue during …

Wound healing is essential to repair the skin after injury. In the epidermis, distinct stem cells
(SCs) populations contribute to wound healing. However, how SCs balance proliferation …

It was thought that the aerodynamics of flapping flight in birds is fully understood for quite
some time, but recent studies have shown that this is not the case. Bird flight uses …

Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions between genetic and
mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

The generation of organismal form—morphogenesis—arises from forces produced at the
cellular level. In animal cells, much of this force is produced by the actin cytoskeleton. Here …

Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions between genetic and
mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

The skin forms a crucial, dynamic barrier between an animal and the external world. In
mammals, three stem cell populations possess robust regenerative potential to maintain and …

Understanding the mechanisms regulating development requires a quantitative
characterization of cell divisions, rearrangements, cell size and shape changes, and …

Mechanical forces are integral to development—from the earliest stages of embryogenesis
to the construction and differentiation of complex organs. Advances in imaging and …
