DynamicAtlas: a morphodynamic atlas for Drosophila development.

Journal article Nature methods · January 2026 Featured Publication Living organisms develop their shape through the interplay of gene expression and mechanics. While atlases of static samples characterize cell fates and gene regulation, understanding dynamic shape changes requires live imaging. Here we present DynamicAtla ... Full text Cite

Stationary and germ layer-specific cellular flows shape the zebrafish gastrula

Preprint · 2025 Featured Publication During gastrulation, a sequence of complex processes transforms the blastula into a multi-layered embryo. Fixed sample analysis has revealed much about how genetic signaling cascades determine the major body axes and organize cell fate patterns into the ge ... Full text Cite

Maintaining symmetry during body axis elongation.

Journal article Current biology : CB · August 2023 Featured Publication Bilateral symmetry defines much of the animal kingdom and is crucial for numerous functions of bilaterian organisms. Genetic approaches have discovered highly conserved patterning networks that establish bilateral symmetry in early embryos,1 but ... Full text Cite

Morphodynamic Atlas for Drosophila Development

Preprint · 2022 During morphogenesis, diverse cell-scale and tissue-scale processes couple to dynamically sculpt organs. In this coupling, genetic expression patterns and biochemical signals regulate and respond to mechanical deformations to ensure reproducible and robust ... Full text Cite
