Summary: EpiCure is a napari plugin designed to optimise epithelia segmentation and tracking curation through automatic errors detection and ergonomic correction while being easily interoperable with ...

Animal cells extensively remodel their cytoskeleton during differentiation and can notably switch between two major motility modes: flagellum-based swimming and actin-based crawling. We previously sho...

Asymmetry establishment without node flow reveals an alternative symmetry-breaking event in the mesoderm involving WNT signaling.

Using quantitative live imaging, Green et al. show that proneural gene expression is biased by positional cues and that Notch is activated only after neuroblast selection in the Drosophila embryo. Thi...

Gastrulation is the morphogenetic process by which the single-layered pluripotent epiblast is reorganised into the three germ layers and the basic bod…

Tissue resilience requires tight coupling between cell proliferation, growth, and death.1,2,3,4It is assumed to be based on compensatory proliferation…

Epithelial remodeling is powered by contractile forces exerted by the actomyosin cytoskeleton. In invertebrates, pulsatile contractile flows of the medio-apical actomyosin cortex have been shown to be...

Cell competition is a tissue surveillance mechanism for eliminating unwanted cells and as such is indispensable in development, infection and tumorigenesis. Although different biochemical mechanisms a...
