The annual turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) cone photoreceptor mosaic is an ordered lattice but lacks regularity of cone subtypes in adulthood. The cone mosaic differs between life stages...

This EMBO Workshop on Forces Across Scales will provide an integrative perspective on mechanobiology, a rapidly advancing field that examines how mechanical forces shape biological systems across mol…

I have written before about how two conceptual frameworks have shaped our thinking about cell fate, Waddington's epigenetic landscape and Davidson's gene...

The Brantley Lab is seeking a Research Technician who is passionate about basic science and being a reliable, collaborative member of an academic research team. Research in the Brantley Lab uses quant...

Muscle function depends on the ability of myofibrils to withstand and repair mechanical damage, yet how adult muscles remodel damaged myofibrils remains poorly understood. Here, we establish a Drosoph...

CFM enables tunable cell confinement for measuring traction forces exerted by single cells and cell aggregates in tissue-mimicking microenvironments.

Summary: A guide to mechanics in development: unlock how forces, material properties and geometry shape the forms of life.

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...

Cell biologists have long known that mechanical forces, such as tension and compression, influence tissue differentiation. Now, advanced methods are letting them observe and manipulate these forces in...

Cavanaugh et al. show that embryos from aged mice have increased contractility and tissue viscosity on embryonic day 4.5, which leads to poor spreading and attachment. Similar age-associated mechanica...
