In preprints: folding from the top – apical forces drive eye cup formation Adrian Perez-Ramos and Paola Bovolenta discuss the recent preprint by Ramos et al. (2025) “The Optic cup is actively shape programmed by independently patterned apical forces”: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

I am thrilled to share the main result of our work at @nordenlab.bsky.social with @liormoneta.bsky.social and @carldmodes.bsky.social . We bridged DevBiology + theoretical physics to understand how the eye becomes round #morphogenesis #devbio #biophysics #zebrafish www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The Optic cup is actively shape programmed by independently patterned apical forces

During morphogenesis, initially flat tissues often must transition into complex 3D shapes, reminiscent of shape-programmable systems in physics and engineering. One key question in developmental biolo...
