This study uses a microfluidic system to investigate mesoderm tissue dynamics and variability in Xenopus embryos, showing that tissue mechanics are governed by cell stiffness and mechanical coupling.

The paper introduces napariTFM, an open-source tool for TFM and MSM analysis, demonstrating high accuracy and usability for quantifying cellular forces.

The paper investigates how cadherin contacts are dynamically remodeled during differential cell migration in Xenopus mesoderm, revealing mechanisms of contact disruption and their relationship with cortical tension.

This paper introduces a minimal in vitro assay to study cell intercalation, showing that interfacial tension and migratory forces drive this process in epithelial cells.
