Cell Press and Leica Microsystems Present Free Webinar: Morphogenesis
Morphogenesis - literally “shape creation” - is responsible for the diversity of biological shapes that make up Darwin’s “endless forms most beautiful and wonderful”. In recent years, the combination of cutting edge microscopy and molecular approaches in developmental, cell, and molecular biology have provided an increasingly in-depth view of how organisms (and all of their integral parts) form from a single cell.

In this exciting webinar, Darren Gilmour, Tatiana Petrova, Olivier Pourquié, and Yoshiki Sasai share their latest insights into the morphogenetic processes that shape the developing embryo and form biological structures. In addition, they’ll discuss the mechanisms controlling cell collective behavior and how our understanding of morphogenesis can be leveraged for regenerative medicine.
