Das menschliche Darmmikrobiom könnte mitbestimmen, wie stark das Immunsystem auf Impfungen reagiert. Dabei tragen bakterielle Flagelline zu Entzündungsreaktionen bei.

Stem cell–derived mesodermal organoids reveal how signaling centers guide cell fate and tissue organization.

The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the awarding of 421 Starting Grants to outstanding early-career researchers across Europe, as part of the Horizon Europe programme. To illustrate the ...

Wickström discovered how cells sense the physical world around them. Her research showed that cells can “feel” forces such as pressure and stretching and relay these signals all the way to their DNA. ...

Adult intestinal size plasticity is driven not only by epithelial stem cells but also by remodeling of the surrounding visceral musculature. Sex- and reproduction-dependent muscle remodeling controls ...

During gastrulation, embryonic epithelia undergo large-scale remodelling to internalise the mesoderm. Whether the cellular mechanisms underlying these tissue deformations are conserved across species ...

During regeneration, tissues must translate transient cellular variability into stable spatial organization. Tissue architecture generates a density-dependent window of heterogeneity in the mechanosen...

Thomas Boehm has been awarded his third ERC Advanced Grant to investigate the unique immune system of deep-sea anglerfish and their immune tolerance mechanisms.

Le chercheur raconte, dans un entretien au « Monde », l’histoire et les retombées de l’évo-dévo, ce concept au nom ésotérique qui rapproche les sciences de l’évolution de celles du développement. Et q...

We study how development measures time and how timing matters in development, evolution and ageing.

Why mammals cannot regenerate limbs like amphibians do presents a long-standing puzzle in biology. To uncover the underlying differences, we compared amputation responses of embryonic mouse (Mus musculus) and Xenopus laevis tadpole limbs. Lowering ...

Researchers show that mammals briefly activate regenerative programs after injury but shut them down too fast. Altering oxygen sensing keeps cells in a repair-ready state.
