Role of diffusion and reaction of the constituents in spreading of histone modification marks

The paper studies histone modification spreading using a reaction-diffusion model, showing diffusion and enzyme degradation limit domain size and produce modification profiles comparable to S. pombe H3K9me3 data.

Actomyosin cables position cell cohorts during Drosophila germband retraction by entraining their morphodynamic and mechanical properties

This study identifies planar polarized actomyosin cables as essential for coordinating cell dynamics and positioning during Drosophila germband retraction.

Interplay between cell height variations and planar pulsations in epithelial monolayers

The paper investigates how cell height variations and planar pulsations interact in epithelial monolayers to coordinate tissue dynamics.

Role of Delta-Notch signalling molecules on cell-cell adhesion in determining heterogeneous chemical and cell morphological patterning

This study extends a vertex model of epithelial tissues to include contact-dependent signaling and mechanochemical coupling, showing that two-way interactions between cell mechanics and signaling can produce diverse patterns in cell size and shape.

Epithelial colonies in vitro elongate through collective effects

This study investigates how epithelial colonies elongate in vitro, finding that global elongation results from cell elongation or oriented neighbor exchange depending on external stimuli.

Role of cell polarity dynamics and motility in pattern formation due to contact dependent signalling

This study investigates how cell polarity dynamics and motility influence spatiotemporal patterning of signalling molecules through contact-dependent interactions.

Pulsations and flows in tissues: two collective dynamics with simple cellular rules

This study identifies two collective dynamics in epithelial tissues—pulsations and long-range flows—controlled by cellular rules and environmental factors.
