My Dresden colleagues have recently published a paper.
Carlotta Mayer (@c_ma_yer on the cross site) shows that #hepatocytes react to increased #bile #pressure by forming the #apical projections called bulkheads. This is also observed in #human #liver when bile pressure is increased to a pathological level. Upon further increase of bile pressure, bulkheads no longer hold the #canaliculi shape and form #rosettes.

Check out this perspective by my PhD Marieke about the evolution of self organizing systems, using #cellpolarity in budding yeast as an example, and ending with how self-organisation can complement selection as ordening principle.
