Getting poster data...
Stefano Vianello, Matthias Lutolf (EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland)
During embryonic development a single, symmetric, undifferentiated cell transforms into a multicellular, differentiated organism populated by multiple specialised cell types. As new cells emerge, they migrate across the embryo, they squeeze between other tissues, they break down and deposit basement membranes, and they traverse and integrate surrounding layers. Concurrently, the embryo as a whole undergoes dramatic shape changes. In this poster we present a simple, accessible, and versatile pipeline to illustrate mouse development from volumetric models obtained from real embryo data. This type of 3D representation might be of help for the mouse developmental biology community when in need to represent on paper complex embryonic transformations. 3D models also easily lend themselves to outreach/interactive events for the general public via virtual and/or augmented reality.
