Probing Death Decisions from Morphogen Gradient Fields

University of Liverpool Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine
Morphogen gradient scaling is one of the hottest fields in developmental biology at the moment. Scaling is fundamental, explaining how the machinery that controls pattern formation in development (the morphogens) can adapt, so that organs of different sizes show morphological structures which are proportioned.

Delineating the IRF6 regulatory network driving periderm formation and function

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
During development, the ectoderm passes through a series of cell states to produce a self-replenishing, multi-layered epidermis. Initial stratification forms a single-cell layer of flattened periderm cells which act as a barrier to prevent pathological adhesions during embryogenesis. Read more
