QuantifyPolarity is a tool for measuring planar polarized protein distributions and cell properties, showing robustness to cell geometry variations.

This study identifies the Drosophila gene smal as essential for nociceptor dendrite morphogenesis and thermal nociception, with loss-of-function leading to thermal hyperalgesia.

The paper uses computational modeling to show that bidirectional signaling between Frizzled and Van Gogh explains conflicting experimental results in Drosophila wing development better than monodirectional signaling.

This paper reviews computational models that integrate planar polarity and tissue mechanics in epithelial morphogenesis, highlighting their contributions and suggesting improvements.
