The Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) wishes to attract talented PhD students to the Luminy campus. To do so, CENTURI will fund up to 10 PhD positions to start in 2021. ...Posted by Nick Lammers, on 30 April 2020
Background/History In the early fly embryo, information encoded in a handful of maternally deposited protein gradients is fed forward through increasingly intricate layers of interacting genes, culminating in the differentiation ...Posted by Satu Kuure, on 27 February 2020
Kuure lab, affiliated with STEMM research program at Research Programs Unit of the Faculty of Medicine and Helsinki Institute of Life Science (HiLIFE), University of Helsinki, invites applications for a ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 28 May 2019
This interview, the 63rd in our series, was recently published in Development Butterfly eyespots are striking examples of animal patterning, but their developmental origins are still relatively poorly understood. A new paper in ...Posted by gbassel, on 8 February 2019
By George Bassel and Iain Johnston Multicellular organs consist of collections of cells which come together to achieve what individual cells cannot. The establishment of order in complex tissues has ...Posted by JNMalagon, on 14 November 2018
Using computer simulations and mathematical modeling to study the evolution of morphogenesis Juan N. Malagon and Ernest Ho tell the story behind their recent paper in PLOS Computational Biology. In ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 24 October 2018
The construction of complex three-dimensional tissue structures during embryogenesis requires precise control of cell and tissue mechanics. The Xenopus embryo provides a powerful tool for interrogating this relationship, as demonstrated ...Posted by Juan R Martinez-Morales, on 15 October 2018
We invite students to apply for a PhD position in computational morphogenesis at the Gene Expression and Morphogenesis Unit (http://cellcollectives.com/) at the Andalusian Centre for Developmental Biology (http://www.cabd.es), in the ...Posted by the Node, on 1 October 2018
From the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine blog. Stem cell turnover and tissue maintenance is a stochastic process. This means that a randomly occurring mutation has an unknown ...Posted by the Node Interviews, on 12 June 2018
Somites are segmented structures which give rise to numerous tissues in the vertebrate body. It has long been observed that somites scale in size with the overall size of the ...
