Study pinpoints cellular response to pressure in sea star embryos - EurekAlert


<p>An international team of scientists has discovered a new cellular mechanism that explains how cells can adapt to pressure changes during tissue growth by packing themselves into a unique shape.&nbsp;</p> <p>Researchers at UC San Diego&rsquo;s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Stanford University&rsquo;s Hopkins Marine Station, and the Institute of Biomedicine in Seville (IBiS) in Spain led the research, which is novel for its use of sea star embryos as model organisms in this context.</p>
