Developing embryos have a striking ability to buffer external and internal perturbations. A key example of this phenomenon across developing systems is successful organ formation even after substantia...

Neuronal migration is essential for establishing functional tissue architecture in the developing central nervous system. While cell-intrinsic mechanisms driving neuronal movement have been identified...

Spider-like neurons finding their way: signposts for multipolar migration in the developing brain - News

Multipolar migration is a conserved neuronal migration mode in the developing brain, enabling emerging neurons to navigate in crowded environments and…

During morphogenesis, initially flat tissues often must transition into complex 3D shapes, reminiscent of shape-programmable systems in physics and engineering. One key question in developmental biolo...

Multipolar migration is a conserved neuronal migration mode in the developing brain, enabling emerging neurons to navigate crowded environments and reach precise laminar positions. Yet how these cells...

Dr Caren Norden has been appointed Darwin Professor of Animal Embryology, joining the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience in the School of Biological Sciences, from April 2026. Her ...

The coordination of cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation is crucial for organogenesis in many tissues, including the CNS and other organs that arise from pseudostratified epithelia (PSE)...

Maia-Gil et al. probe how nuclear properties affect apical nuclear migration in zebrafish neuroepithelia. Overexpressing lamin A stiffens nuclei, impairing migration. Further, control nuclei in a lami...
