This study shows that multicellular systems coordinate force generation and invasive migration through oscillatory mechanochemical feedback in 3D matrices.

This study shows electric fields modulate keratocyte migration speed and alignment without changing turning dynamics.

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

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.

This study shows that osmotic compression relaxes tissue contractility in different cell types, mediated by RhoA and myosin activity, suggesting a feedback mechanism in morphogenesis.

The paper identifies Collagen XV-B and Tenascin C as ECM components guiding motor axon growth through their dual topology and stiffness in zebrafish.

This study shows that epithelial cell layers confined to narrow geometries exhibit tissue-level waves that undergo a phase transition, independent of confinement length, revealing an intrinsic mechanism for supracellular distance measurement.
