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.

The double-layered structure of amyloid-β assemblage on GM1-containing membranes catalytically promotes fibrillization

This study identifies a double-layered Aβ structure on GM1 membranes that catalyzes fibril formation without becoming fibrils itself.
