During embryonic development, a simple ball of cells re-shapes itself into the elaborate
body plan of an animal. This requires dramatic cell shape changes and cell movements …

Dorsal closure is a key process during Drosophila morphogenesis that models cell sheet
movements in chordates, including neural tube closure, palate formation, and wound …

Wolbachia are the most widespread maternally-transmitted bacteria in the animal kingdom.
Their global spread in arthropods and varied impacts on animal physiology, evolution, and …

The septate junction (SJ) provides an occluding function for epithelial tissues in invertebrate
organisms. This ability to seal the paracellular route between cells allows internal tissues to …

Oriented cell divisions are essential for the generation of cell diversity and for tissue shaping
during morphogenesis. Cells in tissues are mechanically linked to their neighbors, upon …

The spermatogenesis of animal is essential for the reproduction and a very large number of
genes participate in this procession. The Maelstrom (Mael) is identified essential for …

In epithelial tissues, cells tightly connect to each other through cell–cell junctions, but they
also present the remarkable capacity of reorganizing themselves without compromising …

In this review, we address the function of immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion
molecules (IgCAMs) in epithelia. Work in the Drosophila model system in particular has …

Sel merupakan unit (satuan, zarah) terkecil dari makhluk hidup yang dapat melaksanakan
kehidupan. Sel disebut sebagai unit terkecil karena sudah tidak dapat dibagi-bagi lagi …

Glial cells are essential for the proper development and functioning of the peripheral
nervous system (PNS). The ability to study the biology of glial cells is therefore critical for our …
