The development of complex tissues relies on precisely coordinated genetic and molecular signals. But as organs develop, they also encounter cues from their environment. Could these environmental cues also help shape tissue organization? Join us this week as Pallavi walks us through a study showing that light, beyond its role in vision, acts as a developmental signal that helps organize the mouse retina during a critical stage of development, revealing an unexpected link between environmental cues and tissue patterning.

The Paper: Identification of a non-canonical planar cell polarity pathway triggered by light in the developing mouse retina
