Interaction dynamics between epithelial cysts captured by tissue rheology

This paper studies epithelial cyst interactions using a microfabrication assay and rheological measurements, finding conserved interaction speeds and showing that mechanical properties determine their dynamics.

Interplay between Rac1/RhoA and actin waves in giant epithelial cells : experiment and theory

The paper studies acto-myosin dynamics and Rho GTPase interactions in epithelial cells using live microscopy and theory, revealing wave propagation and annihilation mechanisms.

Generic comparison of lumen nucleation and fusion in epithelial organoids with and without hydrostatic pressure

The paper compares lumen nucleation and fusion dynamics in three epithelial organoid systems under varying hydrostatic pressure conditions, revealing conserved self-organisation rules.

Synergistic activation of RARb and RARg nuclear receptors restores cell specialization during stem cell differentiation by hijacking RARa-controlled programs

This study shows that activating RARβ and RARγ receptors with specific ligands enhances cell specialization during stem cell differentiation into neuronal and glial cell types.
