...Adam Shellard; Roberto Mayor From a physical perspective, morphogenesis of tissues results from interplay between their material properties and the mechanical forces exerted on them. The importance of mechanical forces in influencing cell behaviour is widely recognised, whereas the importance...

...Jamie A. Davies; Fokion Glykofrydis The development of natural tissues, organs and bodies depends on mechanisms of patterning and of morphogenesis, typically (but not invariably) in that order, and often several times at different final scales. Using synthetic biology to engineer patterning...

... the ‘embryological cycle’ of patterning, differentiation and morphogenesis and review progress that has been made in constructing synthetic biological systems to reproduce these processes in new ways. The state-of-the-art remains a long way from making truly synthetic tissues, but there are now at least foundations...

...Maitreyi Das; Fulvia Verde Cell polarization is fundamental to many cellular processes, including cell differentiation, cell motility and cell fate determination. A key regulatory enzyme in the control of cell morphogenesis is the conserved Rho GTPase Cdc42, which breaks symmetry via self...

... the chemical, mechanical and transport properties involved in plant morphogenesis. These synthesize biochemical and biophysical data, revealing underlying principles, especially the importance of dynamics in generating form. Chemical kinetics has been used to understand the constraints on reaction...

... into a swollen dome-shaped cell, called the appressorium [ 1 , 2 , 6 ]. The process of appressorium morphogenesis is tightly coupled to cell division, as mitosis is always observed within germ tubes of the fungus before the appressorium development [ 6 ]. M. grisea appressoria form in response to hard...
