Anna Kicheva and Florian Schur promoted to professors. @KichevaLab researches pattern formation & size regulation in animal organs, focusing on the developing vertebrate spinal cord. @SchurLab explores the structural biology of cell migration and viral infection. Congratulations!

8/n This way, the initial BMP signaling information is temporally relayed, making neural tube development temporally organized while allowing the pathway to be reused in different contexts.

Our paper “Dynamics of morphogen source formation in a growing tissue” with first authors R. Ho and K. Kishi is published in @PLOSCompBiol 🎉 We show that the floor plate of the vertebrate neural tube forms in two phases: rapid specification followed by growth. 🧵1/7

6/7 This mechanism of source formation in which specification and growth are temporally separated, could provide scaling of morphogen gradient amplitudes with tissue growth.
