Invariances in an ever-variant environment

The tight control of cell division is fundamental to multicellular development, ensuring the formation of tissues and organs with the correct size, shape and function. This EMBO Workshop brings toget…

Precise spatiotemporal control of protein synthesis is essential during embryogenesis, yet directly measuring translation kinetics in vivo remains challenging in vertebrates. In particular, it remains...

Nature Physics - Zebrafish can regenerate amputated fins back to their original size. It is now shown that gradients in extracellular signal-regulated kinase activity act as rulers during fin bone...

Using quantitative live imaging, Brantley et al. reveal that cells decode dynamic BMP signaling during dorsal patterning of the Drosophila embryo by integrating activity over time. These results advan...

System identification approaches are commonly used in engineering to infer simple yet predictive models of complex systems from their responses to ...

Ben-Zion Shilo, a distinguished Israeli geneticist (Figure 1), passed away this April at the age of 73 at his home in Rehovot. Benny, as he was known to his friends and colleagues around the world, ma...

How do vascular tissues grow with the rest of the developing organism postnatally? In this issue of Cell Systems, Pi et al. combine modeling with molecular biology to uncover how cell behaviors scale ...
