Membranes, Volume 14, Issue 6

June 2024 - 26 articles

Cover Story: Timelapse fluorescence images (green labeling cell nuclei and red labeling cell membranes) of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans since fertilization spiral from the center, marking the beginning of embryogenesis. In addition, the automatic segmentation of 3D cell membranes captures the dynamic landscape of development. The shape features of numerous 3D cell regions are meticulously measured, akin to using vernier calipers for precision. Distributed like stars, these 3D cell regions undergo drastic temporal changes in shape during critical biological processes, such as cell division (upper) and cell migration (lower). These transformations form intricate constellations, showcasing the beauty and complexity of embryonic development. View this paper
