Plants produce a rich diversity of biological forms, and the diversity of leaves is especially
notable. Mechanisms of leaf morphogenesis have been studied in the past two decades …

How genes shape diverse plant and animal body forms is a key question in biology. Unlike
animal cells, plant cells are confined by rigid cell walls, and cell division plane orientation …

Mechanical forces have emerged as coordinating signals for most cell functions. Yet,
because forces are invisible, mapping tensile stress patterns in tissues remains a major …

Objective Pancreatic cancer is associated with an abundant stromal reaction leading to
immune escape and tumour growth. This massive stroma drives the immune escape in the …

Plant cell deformations are driven by cell pressurization and mechanical constraints
imposed by the nanoscale architecture of the cell wall, but how these factors are controlled …

At the center of cell biology is our ability to image the cell and its various components, either
in isolation or within an organism. Given its importance, biological imaging has emerged as …

Mechanical patterns control a variety of biological processes in plants. The microviscosity of
cellular structures effects the diffusion rate of molecules and organelles, thereby affecting …

Development is remarkably reproducible, producing organs with the same size, shape, and
function repeatedly from individual to individual. For example, every flower on the …

Plant cell growth depends on a delicate balance between an inner drive—the hydrostatic
pressure known as turgor—and an outer restraint—the polymeric wall that surrounds a cell …
