The paper shows that a nematic liquid crystal state forms during gastrulation in fish, frogs, and fruit flies through a common mechanism, with experimental and theoretical support.

This study shows that convergent extension involves both cell crawling and junction contraction, which work together more effectively when integrated through mechano-reciprocity, and introduces a computational model to explore their biomechanical interactions.

The paper investigates how Arvcf catenin links subcellular actomyosin dynamics to tissue-scale force production during vertebrate convergent extension.

The paper provides a time-resolved bulk transcriptome of developing Keller explants from Xenopus laevis dorsal marginal zone.
