Check out our latest work on developmental scaling: collective cell migration speeds up in larger animals and slows down in smaller ones, helping maintain a constant pace of tissue morphogenesis across different-sized animals. @ybellaichelab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Tissue mechanics sets developmental scaling of collective cell migration
Despite substantial variation in adult size, animals within a species maintain consistent tissue patterns and shapes, a core property known as developmental scaling or size invariance. Developmental s...
