EMBL scientists and their collaborators have shown how interactions between cells behaving in a magnet-like manner and the geometry of tissues can give rise to structure and order inside mammalian embryos at a critical stage of early development. Using a combination of theoretical physics and experimental biology approaches, the studies shed new light on the fundamental principles that govern the emergence of order in complex biological systems. https://lnkd.in/enY7crSZ Anna Erzberger | Pamela Guruciaga | Takafumi Ichikawa | Takashi Hiiragi | Kyoto University | Hubrecht Institute
