The paper uses optogenetic tools to control RhoGEF activity in Drosophila and reveals how RhoGEF recruitment affects tissue furrowing during development.

This study uses optogenetic tools to manipulate actomyosin contractility in Drosophila germband epithelium, revealing how Rho1 signaling affects cell rearrangements, tissue tensions, and mechanical properties during tissue flow.

This paper uses optogenetics to manipulate Rho1 signaling in Drosophila embryos, showing how changes in myosin patterns affect cell behaviors and tissue shape during convergent extension.
