• A deformation gradient decomposition method for the analysis of the mechanics of morphogenesis 

      Muñoz Romero, José; Barrett, K.; Miodownik, M. (2007-06)
      Article
      Accés obert
      A new finite element model is proposed for the analysis of the mechanical aspects of morphogenesis and tested on the biologically well studied gastrulation phenomenon, in particular ventral furrow invagination of the ...
    • Condensation of the Drosophila nerve cord is oscillatory and depends on coordinated mechanical interactions 

      Karkali, Katerina; Tiwari, Prabhat; Singh, Anand; Tlili, Sham; Jorba Masdéu, Ignasi; Navajas Navarro, Daniel; Muñoz Romero, José; Saunders, Tim; Martín Blanco, Enrique (Elsevier, 2022-04-11)

      During development, organs reach precise shapes and sizes. Organ morphology is not always obtained through growth; a classic counterexample is the condensation of the nervous system during Drosophila embryogenesis. The ...
    • Detection, counting, and classification of visual ganglia columns of drosophila pupae 

      Arriaga Varela, Enrique Javier; Moya Sánchez, Eduardo Ulises; Aguilar Meléndez, Armando; Castillo Reyes, Octavio; Vázquez Santacruz, Eduardo; Salazar Colores, Sebastián; Cortés García, Claudio Ulises (2019)
      Article

      Many neurobiologists use the fruit fly (Drosophila) as a model to study neuron interaction and neuron organization and then extrapolate this knowledge to the nature of human neurological disorders. Recently, the fluorescence ...
    • Direction Selectivity in Drosophila Proprioceptors Requires the Mechanosensory Channel Tmc 

      He, Liping; Gulyanon, Sarun; Skanata, Mirna Mihovilovic; Karagyozov, Doycho; Heckscher, Ellie S.; Krieg, Michae; Tsechpenakis, Gavriil; Gershow, Marc; W. Daniel, Tracey, Jr (Sciencedirect, 2019-03-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Drosophila Transmembrane channel-like (Tmc) is a protein that functions in larval proprioception. The closely related TMC1 protein is required for mammalian hearing and is a pore-forming subunit of the hair cell ...
    • Truss model for stress controlled morphogenesis 

      Muñoz Romero, José; Conte, Vito; Miodownik, M. (2009)
      Comunicació de congrés
      Accés obert
      We resort to the usual decomposition of the deformation gradient into an active and a passive component, and deduce the constitutive law and equilibrium equations when the two components are not independent. In the model ...
