RESEARCH – KICHEVA LAB Skip to content RESEARCH Metazoans have organs with well-defined shapes and sizes that are specific to their species. This requires mechanisms that regulate the number, sizes and types of cells within developing organs. When these mechanisms fail, individuals suffer from disorders and malformations, such as microcephaly, spina bifida, cancer and others. Prior studies have identified many molecular components that are involved in growth and proliferation. However, it is still unclear how cellular behaviors are controlled and coordinated at the level of an entire org
