Epithelial convergent extension as a tuning process

The paper shows epithelial convergent extension can be viewed as a self-tuning process, with local feedback rules better reproducing experimental features than global optimization methods.

Learning Epithelial Elasticity via Local Tension Remodeling

This paper introduces a vertex model of epithelial tissues with a mechanosensitive tension-remodeling rule, showing how tissues store mechanical memory and adapt their properties through learning-like processes.

Morphogenesis-on-chip: A minimal in vitro assay for cell intercalation highlights the importance of interfacial tension and migratory 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.
