Mechanical transapical coupling of endometrial epithelial cells during implantation

The paper demonstrates mechanical coupling between epithelial cells at apical-apical surfaces during implantation, mediated by extracellular matrix and tight junction molecules.

Effective mechanical potential of cell-cell interaction in tissues harboring cavity and in cell sheet toward morphogenesis

The paper evaluates an image-based method for inferring cell-cell interaction potentials in tissues with cavities and cell sheets, showing it can reproduce morphological structures.

Effective mechanical potential of cell-cell interaction explains three-dimensional morphologies during early embryogenesis

The paper develops a method to infer mechanical forces of cell-cell interactions and shows that quantitative differences in effective pairwise potentials explain morphological differences in early embryos.

Differential cellular stiffness contributes to tissue elongation on an expanding surface

This study investigates how differential cellular stiffness, through area elasticity, influences tissue elongation in an expanding environment, supported by comparisons to mouse notochord development.

Isotropic expansion of external environment induces tissue elongation and collective cell alignment

This study shows isotropic expansion of external environments can cause tissue elongation and collective cell alignment through passive cell movement.

Changes in free amino acid concentrations and associated gene expression profiles in the abdominal muscle of kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus reared at different salinity

This study examines how kuruma shrimp adjust free amino acid concentrations and gene expression in response to different salinity levels.
