Our new department of Systems Biology at the MD Anderson cancer center in Houston Texas has open faculty positions for assistant professors interested in technology development, cancer evolution and systems biology @MDAndersonNews Apply here: mdanderson.org/about-md-ander…
📢Our paper on self-organized information in development is now out in @PNASNews! See below for a 🧵 on the preprint and check it out here👉pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
📢New preprint! Developmental systems have a remarkable ability to self-organize spatial patterns of different cell types. How can we quantify the information content & robustness of these self-organized patterns across biological systems? 👉arxiv.org/abs/2312.05895
There are similarities with comparable vertebrate embryonic epithelia, in which AP-patterning is also known to orient cell divisions, but our results suggest that more work is needed to understand the influence of mechanics on division orientation in vertebrate epithelia 5/5
Mechanical stress combines with planar polarised patterning during metaphase to orient embryonic epithelial cell divisions Read this Research Article by @GuyBlanchard5, @ElenaScarpa4, Leila Muresan & @SansonLab @PDN_Cambridge @Cambridge_Uni: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
