...Jamie A. Davies; Fokion Glykofrydis The development of natural tissues, organs and bodies depends on mechanisms of patterning and of morphogenesis, typically (but not invariably) in that order, and often several times at different final scales. Using synthetic biology to engineer patterning...

... the ‘embryological cycle’ of patterning, differentiation and morphogenesis and review progress that has been made in constructing synthetic biological systems to reproduce these processes in new ways. The state-of-the-art remains a long way from making truly synthetic tissues, but there are now at least foundations...

... Biochemical Society 2014 Cdc42 cytoskeleton GTPase-activating protein (GAP) guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) morphogenesis polarized growth secretion Fission yeast ( Schizosaccharomyces pombe ) has proven to be an excellent model organism to study cell morphogenesis. New cells...

...Maitreyi Das; Fulvia Verde Cell polarization is fundamental to many cellular processes, including cell differentiation, cell motility and cell fate determination. A key regulatory enzyme in the control of cell morphogenesis is the conserved Rho GTPase Cdc42, which breaks symmetry via self...

... the chemical, mechanical and transport properties involved in plant morphogenesis. These synthesize biochemical and biophysical data, revealing underlying principles, especially the importance of dynamics in generating form. Chemical kinetics has been used to understand the constraints on reaction...

... to form hyphae in different media ( Figures 3 C and 3 D). In this context, our results are in agreement with the recent report where the presence of polarized membrane domains rich in ergosterol and sphingolipid has been linked to morphogenesis and virulence in C. albicans [ 10 ]. In conclusion...

..., the germ tube starts to swell at its apex, and flattens against the surface of the rice leaf. The germ tube apex then develops into a swollen dome-shaped cell, called the appressorium [ 1 , 2 , 6 ]. The process of appressorium morphogenesis is tightly coupled to cell division, as mitosis is always observed...
