Spatiotemporal distribution of the glycoprotein pherophorin II reveals stochastic geometry of the growing ECM of <i>Volvox carteri</i>
2024-12-06
Abstract excerpt
The evolution of multicellularity involved the transformation of a simple cell wall of unicellular ancestors into a complex, multifunctional extracellular matrix (ECM). A suitable model organism to study the formation and expansion of an ECM during ontogenesis is the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri , which, along with the related volvocine algae, produces a complex, self-organized ECM composed of multiple...
