Fluid transport properties dominate blastocyst expansion over mechanics

The paper investigates the role of osmotic pressure and mechanical stresses in blastocyst expansion using mouse embryos and finds that osmotic pressure differences dominate over mechanical stresses.

Self-centering steady-state flows emerge in confined actomyosin networks

The paper shows that confined actomyosin networks generate self-centering steady-state flows that organize cellular debris into a central inclusion.

Injury-induced electrochemical coupling triggers regenerative cell proliferation

The paper identifies injury-induced electrochemical coupling between tissue depolarization and intracellular signaling as essential for organ regeneration in zebrafish.

Regulation of epithelial tissue homeostasis by active trans-epithelial transport

This study demonstrates that epithelial tissue homeostasis is maintained through active trans-epithelial fluid flow, not cell contractility, using an in vitro model of micro-sized hydrogel spheres.

Core PCP mutations affect short time mechanical properties but not tissue morphogenesis in the Drosophila pupal wing

The paper investigates the role of core PCP mutations in Drosophila pupal wing morphogenesis and finds they do not affect tissue shape changes but influence fast mechanical responses.
