The emergence of the fractal bronchial tree

The paper quantifies the rearrangement of the embryonic bronchial tree into its fractal architecture and identifies biophysical principles governing its formation, showing these principles persist in adulthood and disease.

OptiCell3D: Precise inference of mechanical cell properties from microscopy imaging

OptiCell3D infers mechanical cell properties from 3D microscopy data, showing that apical to lateral surface tension ratio predicts cell aspect ratio in epithelial tissues.

Development of a 3D atlas of the embryonic pancreas for topological and quantitative analysis of heterologous cell interactions

The paper develops a 3D atlas of the embryonic pancreas to analyze cell interactions and spatial organization in mouse embryos.

The Biomechanical Basis of Biased Epithelial Tube Elongation in Lung and Kidney Development

The paper shows fluid flow-induced shear stress drives biased epithelial tube elongation in lung and kidney development, independent of other factors.
