Tissue mechanics sets developmental scaling of collective cell migration

The paper shows that tissue mechanics, not gene patterning, determine the scaling of collective cell migration velocity with tissue size during development.

Morphodynamic domains enable integration of live morphometrics and spatial transcriptomics

The paper introduces a framework to integrate spatial transcriptomics with live morphometrics to infer gene regulatory networks and validate gene function in Drosophila thorax development.

Tissue mechanics and systemic signaling safeguard epithelial tissue against spindle misorientation.

The paper investigates how epithelial tissues maintain architecture and cell number despite spindle misorientation, identifying mechanical and systemic signaling mechanisms that prevent cell loss.

Homeotic compartment curvature and tension control spatiotemporal folding dynamics.

The paper shows how curvature and tension in Drosophila homeotic compartments drive spatiotemporal folding during development.

Multi-view confocal microscopy enables multiple organ and whole organism live-imaging

The paper introduces MuViScopy, a multi-view confocal microscopy technique for live-imaging multiple organs and whole organisms without embedding, demonstrating its use in Drosophila pupal development.

Tricellular junction proteins promote disentanglement of daughter and neighbour cells during epithelial cytokinesis

The paper shows that tricellular junction proteins facilitate the disentanglement of daughter and neighboring cells during epithelial cytokinesis in Drosophila.
