Bénédicte Sanson's lab @PDN_Cambridge @Cambridge_Uni investigates morphogenesis in Drosophila.
Cambridge, England
Joined August 2018
Congratulations @GuyBlanchard5 and @ElenaScarpa4 for having their work featured as Biomedical Picture of the day @BPoD_s ! To find out more about the video, have a look at this paper
journals.biologists.com
Summary: This work demonstrates that patterning and stress cues, both tensile and compressive, are integrated at metaphase to direct the spindle orientation and thus the orientation of cell division.
Quantitative analysis of 100s of #epithelialcell divisions reveals stresses & forces influencing #celldivision orientation in developing #drosophila embryo. Video & research by @GuyBlanchard5, @ElenaScarpa4 et al @SansonLab @PDN_Cambridge @Dev_journal. On https://t.co/qWqxpcDiZy

Our cell division orientation paper is out!
Our paper on how mechanics and patterning combine at metaphase to orient planar epithelial divisions in vivo just out in Development, with @ElenaScarpa4, Leila Muresan, @SansonLab, @PDN_Cambridge. Thread digest follows… 1/5 https://t.co/74SO9U59DJ

Morphogenetic movements can generate forces that pull on adjacent tissues and change cell behaviours through mechanics and mechanotransduction, but does this always happen? We find that #Drosophila germband extension is remarkably robust to mesoderm invagination. #morphogenesis
Computational analysis of gastrulating #Drosophila embryos by @SansonLab shows that polarized cell intercalation is robust to the force generated by #mesoderm invagination, though this slows down the rate of A-P cell elongation @PDN_Cambridge #PLOSBiology

Preprint available online now! The team's latest work on how adhesion dynamics regulate cell intercalation behaviour with Alex Nestor-Bergmann @GuyBlanchard5 @Nathan_Hervieux @AlexGFletcher @JoscelynEtienne @PDN_Cambridge
biorxiv.org
Cell intercalation is a key cell behaviour of morphogenesis and wound healing, where local cell neighbour exchanges can cause dramatic tissue deformations such as body axis extension. Here, we...
