[HTML][HTML] Growth anisotropy of the extracellular matrix shapes a developing organ
Final organ size and shape result from volume expansion by growth and shape changes by
contractility. Complex morphologies can also arise from differences in growth rate between …

Protein binders and their applications in developmental biology
S Harmansa, M Affolter - Development, 2018 - journals.biologists.com
Developmental biology research would benefit greatly from tools that enable protein function
to be regulated, both systematically and in a precise spatial and temporal manner, in vivo. …

Dpp spreading is required for medial but not for lateral wing disc growth
Drosophila Decapentaplegic (Dpp) has served as a paradigm to study morphogen-dependent
growth control. However, the role of a Dpp gradient in tissue growth remains highly …

A nanobody-based toolset to investigate the role of protein localization and dispersal in Drosophila
10.7554/eLife.22549.001 The role of protein localization along the apical-basal axis of
polarized cells is difficult to investigate in vivo, partially due to lack of suitable tools. Here, we …

[HTML][HTML] Forward and feedback control mechanisms of developmental tissue growth
S Harmansa, T Lecuit - Cells & Development, 2021 - Elsevier
The size and proportions of animals are tightly controlled during development. How this is
achieved remains poorly understood. The control of organ size entails coupling of cellular …

Wind fields in heterogeneous conifer canopies: parameterisation of momentum absorption using high-resolution 3D vegetation scans
Applications of flow models to tall plant canopies are limited, amongst other factors, by the
lack of detailed information on vegetation structure. A method is presented to record 3D …
