Cellular timing heterogeneity regulates phase transitions in living matter

Magdalena Schindler, Jef Vangheel, Adrián Aguirre‐Tamaral, Tom E. R. Belpaire, Bart Smeets, Bernat Corominas‐Murtra, Nicoletta I. Petridou

The paper shows that cellular timing heterogeneity regulates rigidity transitions in zebrafish embryos by influencing cell cycle length and tissue-wide mechanical states.

Adhesion-driven tissue rigidification triggers epithelial cell polarity

Laura Rustarazo-Calvo, Cristina Pallares-Cartes, Adrián Aguirre‐Tamaral, Elisa Floris, Maximilian Hingerl, Camilla Autorino, Arif ul Maula Khan, Bernat Corominas‐Murtra, Nicoletta I. Petridou

This study shows that adhesion is the main determinant of tissue rheology and that uncoupling adhesion-driven from density-driven rigidification triggers epithelial organization.
