Cut it out: Out-of-plane stresses in cell sheet folding of Volvox embryos

The paper quantifies out-of-plane residual stresses in Volvox embryos during folding and shows they guide cell sheet morphogenesis alongside cell wedging.

Spatiotemporal distribution of the glycoprotein pherophorin II reveals stochastic geometry of the growing ECM of Volvox carteri

The paper uses fluorescent labeling and image analysis to study the stochastic geometry of the extracellular matrix in Volvox carteri during development.

Stochastic Voronoi Tessellations as Models for Cellular Neighborhoods in Simple Multicellular Organisms

The paper models cellular neighborhood volumes in Volvox using stochastic Voronoi tessellations and shows they follow gamma distributions due to intrinsic biological noise.
