The role of geometry in morphogenesis Read this Review from our special issue #DevSIextracellular by Ryan Harrison, Olivier Hamant and @timesaunders.bsky.social. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
Role of geometry in shaping tissues. Multiple factors, including cell shape (top left), boundary constraints (top right), topological inputs (bottom left) including from different cell alignment defects (±1/2) and biophysical factors (bottom right) impact how the final tissue form emerges (centre). Centre shows images of a 48 h neuruloid (left; magenta, DAPI; green, actin) and a young Arabidopsis flower (right) treated with oryzalin (depolymerised microtubules) thus showing isotropic growth, but no defect in patterning (organs are still initiated in the right position).

In this Obituary, Francesca Mariani & Mark Lewandoski write about Gail R. Martin, one of developmental biology's most influential conceptual architects, a scientist who reshaped how we think about signalling, pattern formation & genetic analysis in the mouse. doi.org/10.1242/dev....
Gail R. Martin, PhD (1944–2026), a Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and Foreign Member of the Royal Society, was a recipient of the E. G. Conklin Medal (2002) and the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize (2007). She served as Professor for nearly 50 years at the University of California, San Francisco and subsequently as Professor Emerita.

SPACE-seq integrates spatial transcriptomics and lineage tracing in native tissues
Jia et al. develop SPACE-seq, a versatile technology that integrates CRISPR barcoding with spatial transcriptomics to jointly map cell ancestry, identity, and location. Compatible with diverse spatial platforms, SPACE-seq can be applied to a wide range of biological questions, revealing clonal architecture, migration, and fate-shaping interactions in development and cancer.

Designing complex organoids through developmental principles
Brassard and Wells discuss how next-generation human pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids are achieving greater cellular complexity by more faithfully reproducing developmental processes. Advances in tissue interactions, specialized cell incorporation, and bioengineering technologies are enabling increasingly physiologically relevant organoid models to study human development, disease mechanisms, and regenerative biology.
