This paper proposes a conceptual framework and biophysical model to explain how microtubule orientation emerges in developing neurons, showing how geometrical effects, parallel amplification, and polarization contribute to axon-dendrite differentiation.

The paper identifies three rules governing microtubule organization in plant embryos to predict cell division orientation based on cell shape and auxin effects.

The paper introduces a framework to simulate cortical microtubule dynamics on arbitrary 3D cell shapes, validated on spherical, cubical, and leaf pavement cells.
