The vertebrate spinal cord comprises multiple functionally distinct neuronal cell types
arranged in characteristic positions. During development, these different types of neurons …

Cells have an intrinsic ability to self-assemble and self-organize into complex and functional
tissues and organs. By taking advantage of this ability, embryoids, organoids and …

The coordinated spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression in the vertebrate neural
tube determines the identity of neural progenitors and the function and physiology of the …

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

Tissue patterning during animal development is orchestrated by a handful of inductive
signals. Most of these developmental cues act as morphogens, meaning they are locally …

Pigmentation patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Visually striking pigmentation patterns are
not only aesthetically appealing, but also crucial to pollinator interaction and plant fitness …

The development of the vertebrate spinal cord involves the formation of the neural tube and
the generation of multiple distinct cell types. The process starts during gastrulation …

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a highly innovative and promising technology to
render precise positioning of biologics together with living cells and extracellular matrix …

The sizes of living organisms span over 20 orders of magnitude or so. This daunting
observation could intimidate researchers aiming to understand the general mechanisms …

The vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) is comprised of vast number of distinct cell
types arranged in a highly organized manner. This high degree of complexity is achieved by …
