Our new paper is out! 1/16 How does an organ rebuild its shape after injury? It's not just about making new cells, but aligning them in the right direction — like bricks shaping a structure. cell.com/current-biolog…
BLOG - Blueprint for scientific success - great teamwork, a thick skin, and a happy accident In the case of Dr Robert Kelly-Bellow's team, a chance glimpse of a “wobbly spine” in a dwarf variety of an obscure aquatic plant has led to a whole new outlook. okt.to/QEdthW
@BurdaIsabella got the cover! Beautiful!
Issue 19 is complete! Cover: Timelapse images of a developing Arabidopsis sepal (three time points) with lgo-2 mutation, which causes an increased number of cell divisions. Each cell and its daughters are the same color. See Burda et al.: journals.biologists.com/dev/article-lo…
