The helical bacterium Helicobacter pylori patterns cell wall synthesis using two distinct cytoskeletal proteins, CcmA and MreB, to achieve its characteristic shape.

A precise sequence of left-right asymmetries, combined with mechanical constraints, is sufficient to drive the looped morphogenesis of the embryonic heart tube, with potential impact for congenital heart defects.

MorphoGraphX summarizes full 3D datasets as curved surface images (2.5D), enabling the efficient quantification of growth and gene expression data from large time-lapse volumetric datasets.

Tendon fibroblast cells lay down a collagen matrix template during embryogenesis, and the expansion of this matrix drives post-natal tissue growth.

The universal eukaryotic DNA replication kinetics is the consequence of simple physicochemical rules resulting from the localisation of potential replication origins at discrete sites and the diffusion of limiting origin firing factors in the nuclear space.

During Kupffer's vesicle morphogenesis, cell volume anisotropy impacts cell shape changes.

Biological shapes and morphological transitions can emerge from combining directed interactions between cells with apical-basal and planar cell polarity.

An association mapping in wild mice revealed the first candidate loci for within-population molar shape variation and the phenotypic impact of such candidate loci was quantified and validated.

Cell cycle asynchrony regulates apical cell shape to drive cell division orientation in the apical plane.

The three dimensional structure of epidermal cells in the stratum granulosum provides the basis for the homeostasis of the tight junction barrier during cell turnover in the skin.
