The paper shows that reversing active chiral torques in C. elegans leads to mirrored embryos and situs inversus, demonstrating their role in determining body plan handedness.

The paper identifies an active torque dipole in avian embryos that drives left-right symmetry breaking through tissue rotation.

The paper shows that hydraulic instability in C. elegans germ cells leads to cell death by causing volume differences and extrusion of shrinking cells.
