This study characterizes longitudinal vagus nerve activity in mice over weeks, showing changes in compound action potentials under anesthesia and during wakefulness.

The paper quantifies Ca2+ wave propagation in Arabidopsis cells in response to MAMPs and wounding, showing distinct mechanisms for each.

The paper develops a Bayesian optimization framework to reverse-engineer morphogenesis by calibrating physics-based models to match experimental imaging data of Drosophila wing imaginal discs.

This study shows Piezo channels regulate epithelial topology and organ size by modulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and extrusion through calcium and Rho signaling.

This study investigates how Gq regulates wing development in Drosophila by affecting Ca2+ signaling and growth pathways, showing both Ca2+-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

The paper investigates how cytoskeletal regulation and proliferation are coordinated during Drosophila wing disc development to balance tissue growth and shape.

This study screens GPCRs and G proteins in Drosophila to identify those involved in epithelial morphogenesis, finding several with severe phenotypes and disease relevance.

MAPPER identifies differential regulation of Drosophila wing features through automated image analysis, revealing scaling patterns and the role of Piezo in bilateral symmetry.
