Inter-cellular Interactions and Patterns: Vertebrate Development and Embryonic Stem Cells
Development from egg to embryo to adult is a fascinating instance of biological self-organization for which genetics has supplied us with a parts list. It remains to find the principles organizing the assembly of those parts. In the last decade embryonic stem cells (ESC) have provided the material from which to build the mammalian embryo. This review, for a quantitative audience, explains why colonies of ESC are an ideal system with which to peal back the multiple layers of regulation that make embryonic development such a robust process. It formed the basis of a presentation at the 27th Solvay Conference on the Physics of Living Matter 2017 edited by Boris Shraiman.

Morphogen-regulated contact-mediated signaling between cells can drive the transitions underlying body segmentation in vertebrates
We propose a unified mechanism that reproduces the sequence of dynamical transitions observed during somitogenesis, the process of body segmentation during embryonic development, that is invariant across all vertebrate s…
SegmentationWaves, patterns and bifurcations: a tutorial review on the vertebrate segmentation clock
Proper vertebrae formation relies on a tissue-wide oscillator called the segmentation clock. Individual cellular oscillators in the presomitic mesoderm are modulated by intercellular coupling and external signals, leadin…
Quantifying the overall effect of biotic interactions on species distributions along environmental gradients
Separating environmental effects from those of interspecific interactions on species distributions has always been a central objective of community ecology. Despite years of effort in analysing patterns of species co-occ…
Dynamic fibronectin assembly and remodeling by leader neural crest cells prevents jamming in collective cell migration
Collective cell migration plays an essential role in vertebrate development, yet the extent to which dynamically changing microenvironments influence this phenomenon remains unclear. Observations of the distribution of t…
Towards antigenic peptide discovery with better MHC-I binding prediction and improved benchmark methodology
The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a crucial component of the cellular immune system in vertebrates, responsible for, among others, presenting peptides derived from intracellular proteins. The MHC-I presentati…
