Phased ERK responsiveness and developmental robustness regulate teleost skin morphogenesis.
Journal Article Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A · March 11, 2025 Elongation of the vertebrate embryonic axis necessitates rapid expansion of the epidermis to accommodate the growth of underlying tissues. Here, we generated a toolkit to visualize and quantify signaling in entire cell populations of the periderm, the oute ... Full text Link to item CiteDevelopmental Control of Cell Cycle and Signaling.
Journal Article Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol · February 3, 2025 In most species, the earliest stages of embryogenesis are characterized by rapid proliferation, which must be tightly controlled with other cellular processes across the large scale of the embryo. The study of this coordination has recently revealed new me ... Full text Link to item CiteThe cell cycle oscillator and spindle length set the speed of chromosome separation in Drosophila embryos.
Journal Article Curr Biol · February 3, 2025 Anaphase is tightly controlled spatiotemporally to ensure proper separation of chromosomes.1,2,3 The mitotic spindle, the self-organized microtubule structure driving chromosome segregation, scales in size with the available cytoplasm.4,5,6,7 Yet, the rela ...
