Image: Seminar: CMCB seminar: Crafting robust patterns in developing tissues under mechanical stress
Centre for Molecular Cell Biology

Speaker: Dr Giulia Paci Affiliation: MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology Abstract: Animal tissues develop into functional 3D structures while experiencing constantly changing mechanical forces. How do they establish and maintain robust developmental patterns under such conditions? In this talk, I will present a dual approach to address this question, combining high-resolution 3D imaging and mechanical perturbations of dissected tissues with a novel high-throughput, organism-level assay in...
