Control of cell shape in the peripodial membrane of the wing disc of Drosophila melanogaster (cell shape, fly)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

I propose to analyze how epithelial cell shape is controlled, using the Drosophila peripodial membrane as a model system. Drosophila third instar imaginal discs are a composed of two contiguous layers of cells of distinct morphology: a pseudostratified one, called the proper epithelium (PE), and a squamous epithelium, the peripodial membrane (PM). While the PE has been deeply studied, little is kn ...

Shape Understanding: On the Perception of Growth, Form and Process (SHAPE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2021,

Whenever we look at an object, we can effortlessly infer many of its physical and functional properties from its shape and our previous experience with other objects. We can judge whether it is flexible or fragile; stable or likely to tumble; what might have happened to it in the past (e.g. a crushed can or bitten apple); and can even imagine how other members of the same object class might look. ...

A significant fraction of mammalian genomes is composed of repetitive elements, such as pericentric major satellite repeats. Repetitive elements present a critical challenge to genome stability because these regions are prone to recombination. To safeguard genome integrity, these repetitive sequences are maintained in an epigenetically silent heterochromatic state to prevent mutagenic recombinatio ...
