The paper studies epithelial curling to assess the role of active bending and tissue tension in morphogenesis, finding that curling arises from myosin-driven active curvature and is regulated by in-plane and out-of-plane stresses.

This study shows that actomyosin cytoskeleton adapts to compressive forces in epithelia, enabling tissue flattening and regulated folding beyond a critical strain threshold.
