Postdoctoral fellowship "Light sheet microscopy and computational image analysis of early animal morphogenesis" at IBDM Marseille

Posted by , on 14 February 2017

We are seeking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow to develop and apply high resolution light sheet microscopy in order to image cytoskeletal networks and adhesion complexes in developing embryos (e.g. ...

Postdoc: Comparative epithelial morphogenesis

Posted by , on 23 July 2016

From autumn 2016, a postdoctoral research position is available in the Panfilio lab to investigate morphogenesis of the insect extraembryonic (EE) membranes. These simple epithelia are highly dynamic in their ...

Forgotten classics- Principles of morphogenesis

Posted by , on 10 March 2016

  Gustafson, T., Wolpert, L. (1967) Cellular movement and contact in sea urchin morphogenesis. Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society 42, 442-498. Recommended by Thomas Lecuit (IBDM- Developmental Biology ...

Controlling development in a flash: optogenetic modulation of cell contractility during Drosophila morphogenesis

Posted by , on 24 February 2016

Morphogenesis, the shaping of tissues and organs, is driven by a series of events that proceed in a coordinated manner, both spatially and temporally. Such events include changes in cell ...

Identification of a mechanism by which cells interact with their milieu

Posted by , on 23 February 2016

Researchers at IRB Barcelona and CSIC discover a mechanism through which the cells of an organism interact with their extracellular matrix   The cells of an organism interact not only ...

"Eppur (non) si muove": why cellular movements may not be essential to the formation of Turing patterns in biology.

Posted by , on 23 September 2015

D. Bullara* and Y. De Decker *domenico.bullara@mail.com   When Catarina Vicente (Community Manager of “The Node”) proposed us to write a post about our recent paper on pattern formation in ...

MorphoGraphX: A platform for quantifying morphogenesis in 4D

Posted by , on 15 June 2015

Quantifying shape, growth and gene expression at the cellular level are key to understanding morphogenesis, i.e. how organs are shaped. Many image processing tools have been developed towards this goal ...

Mechanisms for asymmetric heart morphogenesis: About Nodal and tissue intrinsic forces

Posted by , on 11 December 2013

Although we all appear symmetrical from the outside, the organization of our internal organs and organ structure are highly asymmetric. Proper asymmetric positioning and patterning of our organs is very ...

Bridging the gap between the sub-cellular and the tissue-organ scale

Posted by , on 22 August 2013

A major challenge when studying the cell biological bases underlying morphogenesis is represented by the gap between the sub-cellular and the tissue-organ scale (Figure 1). Ideally, one would like to ...

ESF QuanTissue Workshop

Posted by , on 22 July 2013

The 8th European zebrafish meeting first started with the “ESF QuanTissue” workshop, a 4 hour session where speakers showed current research about basic mechanisms that regulate cellular behavior during morphogenetic ...
