Blender tissue cartography: an intuitive tool for the analysis of dynamic 3D microscopy data

Blender tissue cartography provides an intuitive tool for analyzing dynamic 3D microscopy data by converting complex 3D tissues into 2D projections for easier visualization and analysis.

Stationary and germ layer-specific cellular flows shape the zebrafish gastrula

The paper reveals that stationary and germ-layer-specific tissue flows shape the zebrafish gastrula through in toto live imaging and analysis.

Learning a conserved mechanism for early neuroectoderm morphogenesis

The paper uses machine learning to model BMP-driven cytoskeletal dynamics in Drosophila development and shows its conservation in human neuroectoderm morphogenesis.

Geometric control of Myosin-II orientation during axis elongation

The paper investigates how myosin-II orientation is geometrically controlled during axis elongation in D. melanogaster embryos, showing that myosin anisotropy remains static while gene expression deforms.

Patterned mechanical feedback establishes a global myosin gradient

The paper investigates how mechanical feedback establishes a global myosin gradient during Drosophila embryogenesis through dynamic recruitment and mathematical modeling.

Morphodynamic Atlas for Drosophila Development

The paper constructs a morphodynamic atlas integrating fixed and live datasets to study tissue dynamics and gene expression during Drosophila development.
