    • Bioelectric Signaling Regulates Size in Zebrafish Fins 

      Perathoner, Simon; Daane, Jacob M.; Henrion, Ulrike; Seebohm, Guiscard; Higdon, Charles W.; Johnson, Stephen L.; Nüsslein-Volhard, Christiane; Harris, Matthew P. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The scaling relationship between the size of an appendage or organ and that of the body as a whole is tightly regulated during animal development. If a structure grows at a different rate than the rest of the body, this ...

    • An Insulin-to-Insulin Regulatory Network Orchestrates Phenotypic Specificity in Development and Physiology 

      Fernandes de Abreu, Diana Andrea; Caballero, Antonio; Fardel, Pascal; Stroustrup, Nicholas; Chen, Zhunan; Lee, KyungHwa; Keyes, William D.; Nash, Zachary M.; López-Moyado, Isaac F.; Vaggi, Federico; Cornils, Astrid; Regenass, Martin; Neagu, Anca; Ostojic, Ivan; Liu, Chang; Cho, Yongmin; Sifoglu, Deniz; Shen, Yu; Fontana, Walter; Lu, Hang; Csikasz-Nagy, Attila; Murphy, Coleen T.; Antebi, Adam; Blanc, Eric; Apfeld, Javier; Zhang, Yun; Alcedo, Joy; Ch'ng, QueeLim (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) play highly conserved roles in development and physiology. Most animal genomes encode multiple ILPs. Here we identify mechanisms for how the forty Caenorhabditis elegans ILPs coordinate diverse ...

    • The Kinematics of Plant Nutation Reveals a Simple Relation between Curvature and the Orientation of Differential Growth 

      Bastien, Renaud; Meroz, Yasmine (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Nutation is an oscillatory movement that plants display during their development. Despite its ubiquity among plants movements, the relation between the observed movement and the underlying biological mechanisms remains ...

    • Synchronous Symmetry Breaking in Neurons with Different Neurite Counts 

      Wissner-Gross, Zachary Daniel; Scott, Mark A.; Steinmeyer, Joseph D.; Yanik, Mehmet Fatih (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      As neurons develop, several immature processes (i.e., neurites) grow out of the cell body. Over time, each neuron breaks symmetry when only one of its neurites grows much longer than the rest, becoming an axon. This symmetry ...
