PAX3 doesn't just pattern the dorsal neural tube, it links metabolism to mechanics
PAX3 sustains upper glycolysis and mannose-dependent glycosylation, which cluster N-cadherin & strengthens adherens junctions

Transcriptional coupling of metabolism and cell mechanics controls human neuroepithelium morphogenesis
Tissue morphogenesis integrates developmental programs with cell mechanics, yet the mechanisms coupling these processes remain poorly understood. We investigated this link during neuroepithelial morph...

Our latest preprint! Into morphogenesis, Yap, ECM, signaling, vertex models, feedbacks/robustness? There is something here for everyone. We discovered a positive feedback loop that extends inner ear canals, and a built-in mechanism that shuts it down when morphogenesis is done. tinyurl.com/464wsjhd

Maybe it's time we rethink the idea that development is a cell centric process? In this beautiful review, María-del-Carmen and @stramerlab.bsky.social discussed how the ECM underlies and influences many morphogenesis processes from wing unfolding to mammary gland development.

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space !
Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns.
