Through live imaging with new tools, Wuergezhen et al. visualise the hidden dynamics of the basement membrane (BM).

We show how BM turnover & expansion coordinate with cellular movements & divisions, highlighting their active & synergistic roles in skin morphogenesis.

Scanning electron microscope image of a human trunk-like structure (left) and human embryo (right) false coloured for somites (magenta) and neural tube (gold).

Have you ever wondered how your back formed? The human embryo makes a neural tube (future spinal cord) and somites (trunk muscle/bone) from ~d20. They’re formed at the same time and place, so we used human Trunk-like Structures (hTLS) to investigate their ‘co-development’… (1/7)

An actin bracket-induced elastoplastic transition determines epithelial folding irreversibility - Nature Communications During morphogenesis, epithelial folding is irreversible, ensuring that the process proceeds in one direction. Here, the authors report that, given sufficient curvature or duration of a fold, these ce...

Excited to share our latest work published in Nature Communications!

We reported an elastoplastic property of epithelia that determines the irreversibility of folding and is regulated in a mechanosensitive manner.
