The nervous system of bilaterian animals is largely bilaterally symmetric. However, some left-right asymmetries exist at the anatomical, molecular and functional levels. One particularly interesting
During development, cells shape epithelial tissues into distinct 3D structures with specialized molecular and mechanical regions. The vertebrate heart tube, for instance, extends by adding
During my PhD thesis, I explored the role of cell mechanics in the development and maintenance of the small intestinal epithelium. I focused on two
