… Sapala et al. (2018) propose that the puzzle shape allows the formation of large pressurized
cells in the epidermis of plant organs that grow isotropically, as seen in many leaves. If the …

10.7554/eLife.32794.001 The shape and function of plant cells are often highly interdependent.
The puzzle-shaped cells that appear in the epidermis of many plants are a striking …

10.7554/eLife.05864.001 Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions
between genetic and mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of …

Organ sizes and shapes are strikingly reproducible, despite the variable growth and division
of individual cells within them. To reveal which mechanisms enable this precision, we …

How organs reach their final shape is a central yet unresolved question in developmental
biology. Here we investigate whether mechanical cues contribute to this process. We analyze …

Background: Marginal ulceration (MU) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a well-recognized
complication. Its incidence varies between 1% and 16%. Factors associated with the …

Anion receptors have attracted growing interest because of their role in chemistry, the
environment, biology and medicine. The mis-regulation of anion flux causes a variety of lethal …

Background Although acute otitis media (AOM) remains a major public health problem worldwide
and brings economic burden on health care system and caregivers, little information is …

During lung development, epithelial branches expand preferentially in a longitudinal direction.
This bias in outgrowth has been linked to a bias in cell shape and in the cell division plane…

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of death following gastric bypass
operations for morbid obesity. Although its incidence appears to be stable, the number of …
