Regulation of cell polarity by EGF signaling controls both organ architecture and cell fate

Posted by , on 23 October 2017

Scientists at DanStem discovered that cells’ sense of direction (cell polarity) determines their destiny. By discovering the signals that control cell polarity in the developing organism, scientists can now mimic ...

Two fully-funded PhD positions in Wnt trafficking at the LSI in Exeter

Posted by , on 9 October 2017

The process of subdividing a tissue into functional units represents a classic problem in pattern formation. Signalling proteins – so-called morphogens – orchestrate this process. The traditional view is that ...
