Learning a conserved mechanism for early neuroectoderm morphogenesis.
Learning a conserved mechanism for early neuroectoderm morphogenesis.
Morphogenesis is the process whereby the body of an organism develops its target shape. The morphogen BMP is known to play a conserved role across bilaterian organisms in determining the dorsoventral (DV) axis. Yet, how BMP governs the spatio-temporal dynamics of cytoskeletal proteins driving morphogenetic flow remains an open question. …
