Fate patterns originate through structural relations between cell and supracellular levels of organization

Clint S. Ko, Ruonan Chen, Nina T. Magid…·Amy E. Shyer

The paper investigates how mesenchymal tissue fields self-organize into distinct cartilage and soft tissue compartments through structural relations between cells and supracellular structures, influenced by Wnt signaling from epithelial tissue.

Apical Constriction Reversal upon Mitotic Entry Underlies Different Morphogenetic Outcomes of Cell Division

Clint S. Ko, Prateek R Kalakuntla, Adam C. Martin

The paper shows that mitotic entry reverses apical contractility in Drosophila embryos, leading to different morphogenetic outcomes depending on the spatial context of cell division.

Microtubules promote intercellular contractile force transmission during tissue folding

Clint S. Ko, Vardges Tserunyan, Adam C. Martin

The paper shows microtubules stabilize actomyosin attachments to adherens junctions during Drosophila mesoderm invagination, facilitating intercellular force transmission.
