This paper introduces a non-invasive method to study localized mechanical forces in 3D epithelial tissues using elastic microbeads and shows how cytoskeletal remodeling and adhesion organization respond to mechanical perturbations.

This study identifies EpCAM as a key regulator of epithelial contractility and crypt morphogenesis, showing its role in maintaining crypt structure and preventing aberrant remodeling.

This study identifies a multicellular actin star network in adult murine intestinal epithelium that maintains tissue stability and organization through mechanical and structural mechanisms.

The paper shows that length-limited astral microtubules cause planar spindle orientation in intestinal crypts, independent of polarity and geometry cues.
