    Abstract Reconstructions for paediatric bone tumours of the shoulder girdle and humerus are intended to optimize placement of the hand in space. Given the longevity of paediatric survivors of sarcoma, durability is an important planning consideration. Here, I review a subset of approaches based on anatomical site with an emphasis on function and longevity. Often, biological reconstructions that combine living bone with tendon repairs and transfers best address those goals.

    Abstract Collective cell motions underlie structure formation during embryonic development. Tissues exhibit emergent multicellular characteristics such as jamming, rigidity transitions, and glassy dynamics, but there remain questions about how those tissue-scale dynamics derive from local cell-level properties. Specifically, there has been little consideration of the interplay between local tissue geometry and cellular properties influencing larger-scale tissue behaviors. Here, we consider a simple two-dimensional computational vertex model for confluent tissue monolayers, which exhibits a rigidity phase transition controlled by the shape index (ratio of perimeter to square root area) of cells, on surfaces of constant curvature. We show that the critical point for the rigidity transition is a function of curvature such that positively curved systems are likely to be in a less rigid, more fluid, phase. Likewise, negatively curved systems (saddles) are likely to be in a more rigid, less fluid, phase. A phase diagram we generate for the curvature and shape index constitutes a testable prediction from the model. The curvature dependence is interesting because it suggests a natural explanation for more dynamic tissue remodeling and facile growth in regions of higher surface curvature. Conversely, we would predict stability at the base of saddle-shaped budding structures without invoking the need for biochemical or other physical differences. This concept has potential ramifications for our understanding of morphogenesis of budding and branching structures.

    Abstract The physical basis of morphogenesis is a fascinating concern that has been a longstanding interest of developmental biologists. In this review, I attempt to incorporate earlier and recent biophysical concepts and data to explain basic features of early limb bud morphogenesis. In particular, I discuss the influence of mesenchymal cohesion and physical properties that might contribute to phase separation of the bud from the lateral plate, the possibility that the early dorsoventral limb bud axis is moulded by the surface ectoderm, and endogenous electric fields that might contribute to oriented cell movements which generate the early limb bud. A combination of quantitative biophysical experimentation and modelling will likely advance this field.

    Abstract Collective cell motions underlie structure formation during embryonic development. Tissues exhibit emergent multicellular characteristics such as jamming, rigidity transitions, and glassy dynamics, but there remain questions about how those tissue scale dynamics derive from local cell level properties. Specifically, there has been little consideration of the interplay between local tissue geometry and cellular properties influencing larger scale tissue behaviours. Here we consider a simple two dimensional computational vertex model for confluent tissue monolayers, which exhibits a rigidity phase transition controlled by the shape index (ratio of perimeter to square root area) of cells, on a spherical surface. We show that the critical point for the rigidity transition is a function of curvature such that more highly curved systems are more likely to be in a less rigid, more fluid, phase. A phase diagram we generate for the curvature and shape index constitutes a testable prediction from the model. The curvature dependence is interesting because it suggests a natural explanation for more dynamic tissue remodelling and facile growth in regions of higher surface curvature, without invoking the need for biochemical or other physical differences. This has potential ramifications for our understanding of morphogenesis of budding and branching structures.

    Abstract Learning objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Describe methods of clinical evaluation for neurologic recovery in brachial plexus birth injury. 2. Understand the role of different diagnostic imaging modalities to evaluate the upper limb. 3. List nonsurgical strategies and surgical procedures to manage shoulder abnormality. 4. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of microsurgical nerve reconstruction and distal nerve transfers in brachial plexus birth injury. 5. Recognize the prevalence of pain in this population and the need for greater sensory outcomes evaluation.
    Summary: Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) results from closed traction injury to the brachial plexus in the neck during an infant's vertex passage through the birth canal. Although spontaneous upper limb recovery occurs in most instances of BPBI, some infants do not demonstrate adequate motor recovery within an acceptable timeline and require surgical intervention to restore upper limb function. This article reviews major advances in the management of BPBI in the past decade that include improved understanding of shoulder pathology and its impact on observed motor recovery, novel surgical techniques, new insights in sensory function and pain, and global efforts to develop standardized outcomes assessment scales.

    Abstract Smooth muscle guides the morphogenesis of several epithelia during organogenesis, including the mammalian airways. However, it remains unclear how airway smooth muscle differentiation is spatiotemporally patterned and whether it originates from transcriptionally distinct mesenchymal progenitors. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing of embryonic mouse lungs, we show that the pulmonary mesenchyme contains a continuum of cell identities, but no transcriptionally distinct progenitors. Transcriptional variability correlates with spatially distinct sub-epithelial and sub-mesothelial mesenchymal compartments that are regulated by Wnt signaling. Live-imaging and tension-sensors reveal compartment-specific migratory behaviors and cortical forces and show that sub-epithelial mesenchyme contributes to airway smooth muscle. Reconstructing differentiation trajectories reveals early activation of cytoskeletal and Wnt signaling genes. Consistently, Wnt activation induces the earliest stages of smooth muscle differentiation and local accumulation of mesenchymal F-actin, which influences epithelial morphology. Our single-cell approach uncovers the principles of pulmonary mesenchymal patterning and identifies a morphogenetically active mesenchymal layer that sculpts the airway epithelium.
