Cell Shape, Migration and Morphogenesis
The ability of cells to migrate, adhere or change shape is critical to establish
the appropriate architecture of tissues and organs. At Utah, investigators
examine
how cells are guided by interactions
with one another or with their environment. These studies are grounded by
fundamental cell biological studies, such as the movement and assembly of
intracellular organelles, the
establishment and modulation of
neuronal synapses,
and the induction of
cellular polarity
to generate distinct subcellular domains.
