The Rise of Eyes Began With Just Onewww.nytimes.comCheck out this beautiful new story from @michelcayouette.bsky.social lab!!! We got to play a small part along the way. So thrilled to see this out in the world!
Michel CayouetteHappy to announce that our latest paper is now out! Have you ever wondered how neural tissues control their size? In this paper, we show that cell division orientation is critical in both the cortex and retina. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
