A new study reveals how embryos harness a physical instability in the cytoskeleton, together with precise cell-cycle timing, to reliably self-organize their cytoplasm.

Dresden researchers develop novel methods to create acinar cells, which are involved in the formation of pancreatic cancer.

Researchers found that the shape of the fluid-filled cavities in the developing pancreas is controlled by pressure and the rate cells divide.

Scientists from the Brugués group at PoL have discovered a new mechanism for how early embryos with large yolks undergo cell division, altering our view of the process.

Researchers lay the foundations for mechanical instabilities on curved surfaces.

Dresden research team develops human modular “LEGO-like” model that lays foundation for a new era in liver research.

Research team develops probes to vizualize transport of ether lipids in the cell. 

Researchers define rules governing how growing microorganisms use energy efficiently

International research team develops mechanical model to explain the shaping of the fruit fly hindgut by forces from neighbouring tissues

A small tissue fold present in fruit fly embryos buffers mechanical stresses and may have evolved in response to mechanical forces.
