This study investigates strain heterogeneity in Xenopus laevis epithelial explants under uniform mechanical strain, finding that cell intrinsic material properties drive variable mechanical responses.

The paper identifies extracellular nucleotides ATP and UTP as drivers of epithelial contractility in Xenopus embryos, mediated by the P2Y2 receptor.

This study shows that Fry is essential for cell movements during Xenopus gastrulation and interacts functionally with NDR1 kinase in morphogenesis.

This study shows that tissue mechanics drive the regeneration of a mucociliated epithelium from mesenchymal cells after tissue disruption.

This study shows that non-junctional cadherin3 regulates cell migration and contact inhibition of locomotion by oppositely controlling Rac1 through extracellular and cytoplasmic domains without cell-cell contact.
