Is oriented cell division required for skull bone expansion?
Oriented cell division is used throughout embryonic development and adult homeostasis to shape and pattern tissues. Our live imaging of…
Developing new technologies for in vivo tissue imaging
The skull forms a curved bone plate that covers the brain. The curvature of the developing skull and the sheer size of mouse embryos…
How is differentiation spatially and temporally regulated during skull growth?
Decades of research have shown that differentiation is the result of stereotypic gene expression changes that are…
Cell biology and dynamics of skull growth
The skull is essential to human life as it protects the brain from damage. Despite the skull’s importance, many fundamental questions about skull…
