The paper investigates the morphogenetic events during early foregut development in the mouse embryo, revealing a coordinated geometric process involving apoptosis and BMP2 signaling.

The paper models how progenitor addition and vacuolation interact in zebrafish notochord development, showing a feedback mechanism that maintains tissue proportions during elongation.

The paper shows EMT and BMP signaling interact reciprocally during collective cell invasion, with EMT priming BMP competence and BMP regulating invasion dynamics.

This study shows that substrate availability determines the morphogenetic strategy used for body axis elongation in gastruloids, with distinct cytoskeletal dependencies.

The paper shows that local optogenetic activation of NMYII in zebrafish neural rod cells causes long-range, asymmetric force propagation along the anterior-posterior axis.

The paper quantifies cell flows during avian gastrulation using a Dynamic Morphoskeleton model and identifies the mechanistic roles of attractors and repellers in shaping the embryo.

This paper develops a mechanochemical model that explains vertebrate gastrulation morphologies by coupling actomyosin activity to tissue flow, showing how different patterns emerge from a uniform state.

The paper manipulates cell behaviours in chick embryos to generate different gastrulation modes, suggesting evolution of these processes is shaped by mesendoderm territory shape and signalling pathways.
