Mechanisms of tissue size regulation in spinal cord development
How the organs of a developing organism achieve their correct size and shape is a fundamental unresolved question in biology. Mammalian embryos possess a remarkable ability to regulate (restore) the correct size of their tissues and organs upon perturbations during early development, yet how this is achieved is unknown. Addressing this question has so far been challenging because it requires a multiscale approach that integrates precise measurements with theoretical frameworks. We are now in an excellent position to unravel the mechanisms by which the mouse spinal cord regulates its size and shape during development by building on our experience with quantitative studies in this system.
