The cells at the 4-cell stage change their shape during this stage of development. The most notable is the cell called EMS that extends a protrusion underneath the neighboring cell ABa. To understand the forces acting on the cells at this stage, a Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg model of the early embryo was created. In order to apply biological data to the model for initiation and validation, a method for segmentation of microscopic images was also developed. A better understanding of how cells in the embryo change shape are now being explored using this model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Tim Walston from Truman&#8217;s Biology Department will be presenting &#8220;A worm that won&#8217;t destroy your PC: An interdisciplinary approach to understanding the embryo&#8221; Abstract: The early embryo of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans provides a great system to understand the forces that act upon cells during development.
