The paper shows that Scab integrin-mediated attachment to the vitelline envelope suppresses chirality-induced twisting in Drosophila germ band extension.

The paper models boundary-driven tissue morphogenesis using the Drosophila hindgut primordium, showing that passive deformations from surrounding active regions can generate complex shapes.

The paper identifies a multi-tiered mechanical mechanism regulating the shape of the anterior neural plate during zebrafish gastrulation through combined in vivo and in silico approaches.

The paper quantifies out-of-plane residual stresses in Volvox embryos during folding and shows they guide cell sheet morphogenesis alongside cell wedging.

The paper identifies a new mechanism of hepatoblast polarization during liver development, showing that ECM remodeling and cell-autonomous processes drive multiaxial polarity and lumen formation.
