TAF7L acts as a molecular switch that regulates the development of mesenchymal stem cells.

Manipulating cell death in situ with the temporal and spatial precision of optogenetic tools opens up new avenues for studying inflammation, death and related phenomena, revealing, for example, that epithelial cell death cannot be classified into strictly distinct categories.

A new approach measures the respective participations of elementary cell behaviors – such as cell division, intercalation, shape change and death – in the shaping of animal tissues.

Genetic modulation in patterns of tissue conflict play a major role in the development and evolution of shape diversity.

Theory explains how transport of gene expression vortices by cell advection may cause intermingled defective and normal segments along the body axis during resynchronization experiments in the zebrafish segmentation clock.

Combining Organs-on-Chips technology with adult intestinal organoids provides an improved model of human duodenum and a new platform for preclinical drug assessment.

Homeostatic tissue maintenance can occur at locations distinct from the target sites of organ regeneration planarians.

Rhythmic centrifugal waves of auxin traveling through the tissue provides high definition positional information to cells that is not only spatial but also temporal.

Spatially and temporally patterned activation of the small GTPase Rho1 indicates that ventral-specific factors contribute to cell- and tissue-level behaviors during ventral furrow formation, the first step in Drosophila gastrulation.

Puzzle-shape cells in the epidermis of many plants form due to a development constraint based on mechanical forces.
