This study shows vimentin enables efficient collective cell migration by converting polarized cell movement into coordinated group motion during wound healing.

This study identifies circumferential actomyosin bundles as drivers of endothelial cell deformations that regulate vessel diameter and prevent vascular malformations.

The paper introduces a method to analyze nematic order on tissue surfaces of arbitrary geometry, validated in vitro and in vivo, revealing physical insights through 3D reconstruction from 2D image stacks.

This study shows that zebrafish embryoids can undergo gastrulation-like processes without yolk syncytial layer signals, highlighting the robustness of cell behavior in the absence of these factors.
