A DPP-mediated feed-forward loop canalizes morphogenesis during Drosophila dorsal closure by Keeley, Charlotte N., Ducuing, Antoine, Mollereau, Bertrand, Vincent, Stephane

“…We propose that the main function of DPP pathway during Drosophila DC is to ensure robust morphogenesis, a distinct function from its well-established ability to spread spatial information.…”

Interplay of active processes modulates tension and drives phase transition in self-renewing, motor-driven cytoskeletal networks by Mak, Michael, Zaman, Muhammad H., Kim, Taeyoon, Kamm, Roger Dale

“…The actin cytoskeleton—a complex, nonequilibrium network consisting of filaments, actin-crosslinking proteins (ACPs) and motors—confers cell structure and functionality, from migration to morphogenesis. While the core components are recognized, much less is understood about the behaviour of the integrated, disordered and internally active system with interdependent mechano-chemical component properties. …”

Growth factor regulation of proliferation and survival of multipotential stromal cells by Rodrigues, Melanie, Griffith, Linda G., Wells, Alan

“…Growth factors are known to influence cell proliferation, motility, survival and morphogenesis. In the case of MSCs, it would be beneficial that the growth factor does not induce differentiation at an early stage since the number of early-differentiating progenitors would be very low. …”

Numerous recursive sites contribute to accuracy of splicing in long introns in flies by Adelman, Karen, Pai, Athma A., Paggi, Joseph M., Yang, Paul L, Burge, Christopher B

“…Recursive sites occur in most very long (> 40 kb) fly introns, including many genes involved in morphogenesis and development, and tend to occur near the midpoints of introns. …”

Isotropic actomyosin dynamics promote organization of the apical cell cortex in epithelial cells by Bathe, Mark, Diesinger, Philipp M., Klingner, Christoph, Cherian, Anoop V., Fels, Johannes, Aufschnaiter, Roland, Maghelli, Nicola, Keil, Thomas, Beck, Gisela, Tolic-Norrelykke, Iva M., Wedlich-Soldner, Roland

“…Although cortical actin plays an important role in cellular mechanics and morphogenesis, there is surprisingly little information on cortex organization at the apical surface of cells. …”

Mechanism of a flow-gated angiogenesis switch: early signaling events at cell–matrix and cell–cell junctions by Vickerman, Vernella, Kamm, Roger Dale

“…Application of B–A, but not A–B flow, to cultured endothelial monolayers was found to promote capillary morphogenesis and resulted in distinct localization patterns of VE-cadherin and increased FAK phosphorylation. …”

Signaling network state predicts Twist-mediated effects on breast cell migration across diverse growth factor contexts by Kim, Hyung-Do, Meyer, Aaron Samuel, Wagner, Joel Patrick, Wells, Alan, Gertler, Frank, Hughes-Alford, Shannon Kay, Lauffenburger, Douglas A

“…Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), whether in developmental morphogenesis or malignant transformation, prominently involves modified cell motility behavior. …”
