Abstract
During wound healing, epithelial cells divide, migrate and change shape. However, it is unclear how much these different cell behaviours contribute to the closure of the wound. A new paper in Development applies deep learning models to analyse large imaging datasets from the Drosophila pupa and quantify the contributions of the different cell behaviours. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Jake Turley. Jake was a PhD student in Bristol, UK, but is now a Research Fellow at the Mechanobiology Institute, National University of Singapore.
