By competing with the growth planes having different rates, the prisms with the lower growth rates dictated the ultimate lateral habit or shape of developed single crystals.
While mechanical stimulation during development has been shown to be important for joint shape, the relationship between the quantity of mechanical stimulation and the growth and shape change of developing cartilage has not been quantified.
Polarization is necessary for many cellular functions, and is particularly important during embryonic development where it helps to form the complex shape of the developing embryo.
The increase in size and changes in shape of a developing organism depend on the increase in the number and size of cells that make up the individual.
The shape of the developing striations is inferred by executing a particle tracking procedure to the CFD flow field obtained.
Previous studies have compared the shape of the developing facial skeleton among groups from different geographic locations and genetic backgrounds to determine whether similar ontogenetic processes characterize divergent groups [ 7– 10].
In other words, size can directly shape the feeding habits of developing sea biscuits.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.07046.002 Genetically encoded developmental programs and neuronal activity together shape the neurotransmitter identity of developing neural circuits.
Work with mice deficient in STAT1 demonstrates that endogenous STAT1 functions as part of the tumor suppressing system and shapes the immunogenic phenotype of developing tumors [ 14], the phenomenon termed 'cancer immunoediting'.
