Nature of active forces in tissues: how contractile cells can form extensile monolayers

L. Balasubramaniam, A. Doostmohammadi, T. B. Saw, G. Sankara, R. Mueller, T. Dang, M. Thomas, S. Gupta, S. Sonam, A. S. Yap, Y. Toyama, R.-M. Mege, J. Yeomans, B. Ladoux

The paper investigates how epithelial cell monolayers switch from extensile to contractile behavior as intercellular contacts weaken, revealing mechanotransductive responses and implications for cell sorting and tissue dynamics.

Emergence of single cell mechanical behavior and polarity within epithelial monolayers drives collective cell migration

S. Jain, V. Cachoux, G. Sankara, S. de Beco, J. D'Alessandro, V. Cellerin, T. Chen, M. Heuze, P. Marcq, R.-M. Mege, A. Kabla, C. T. Lim, B. Ladoux

This study shows that collective cell migration in epithelial monolayers arises from single-cell polarity signals rather than cell-cell junctions.

Myosin II isoforms play distinct roles in adherens junction biogenesis

B. Ladoux, R.-M. Mege, T. Dang, M. Heuze, J. Van Hest, G. Sankara, P. Marcq, J. D'Alessandro, V. Cellerin, D. S. Williams

This study identifies distinct roles of myosin II isoforms in adherens junction biogenesis, showing NMIIA provides mechanical force for junction maintenance while NMIIB facilitates E-cadherin clustering and anisotropic stress.
