Glover lab

@glover-lab.bsky.social

Developmental biology research group interested in the mechanisms driving embryonic pattern formation. Based at the Roslin Institute.

🚨 Excited to introduce FuChi (Fucci chicken), the first avian cell cycle reporter line. Thank you to all those who contributed to putting this paper together. I really think it showcases the power and beauty of the chick embryo as a developmental biology model. 🐥 🥚 🔬 @roslininstitute.bsky.social

New work with Saunders & Charras labs Physical boundaries guide cell fate decisions during human trunk development Reaction Diffusion model shows how geometry shapes biology with TBXT expression forming consistent domains regardless of colony size & shape www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Boundary constraints can determine pattern emergence

The robust patterning of cell fates during embryonic development requires precise coordination of signalling gradients within defined spatial constraints. Using a geometrically confined in vitro syste...
