Gene regulatory networks controlling an epithelial-mesenchymal transition
… (EMTs) are fundamental and indispensable to embryonic morphogenesis throughout the animal kingdom. At the onset of gastrulation in the sea urchin embryo, micromere-derived primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) undergo an EMT process to ingress into the blastocoel, and these cells later become the …

The influence of developmental patterns on vertebrate evolution, with the evolution of the sacrum and pelvis as a case study
Patterns of organismal development—including embryonic morphogenesis, postnatal ontogenetic trends, and growth—are fundamental to understanding the evolution of phenotypes. Consideration of these processes is necessary to construct a holistic and rigorous account of morphological evolution. …

A link between c. Elegans morphogenesis and mrna export
… understand the role of NXF-1 in C. elegans embryonic morphogenesis, we analysed the expression of several apical junction markers in nxf-1(t2160) homozygous embryos and we showed misregulation of these markers, especially DLG-1/Disk large, AJM-1 and HMR-1/E-cadherin. We demonstrated that …

Characterisation of Local Mechanical Properties in Living Tissues
… to probe the mechanical properties of living embryonic tissues that are undergoing active morphogenetic development. The device is capable of generating magnetic forces in the order of nano-Newtons on a grafted magnetic bead. The local passive mechanical properties of the tissues can be …
