The paper uses machine learning to model BMP-driven cytoskeletal dynamics in Drosophila development and shows its conservation in human neuroectoderm morphogenesis.

TubULAR tracks tissue deformations by mapping 3D surfaces to 2D with minimal motion, enabling analysis of collective tissue dynamics in Drosophila and zebrafish.

The paper shows that topological spindle-spindle interactions, not internuclear distance, control spindle orientation and nuclear fate in Drosophila embryos.

The paper investigates how myosin-II orientation is geometrically controlled during axis elongation in D. melanogaster embryos, showing that myosin anisotropy remains static while gene expression deforms.

The paper constructs a morphodynamic atlas integrating fixed and live datasets to study tissue dynamics and gene expression during Drosophila development.

The paper studies how multi-layer tissue interactions drive organ shape changes in Drosophila embryos, identifying calcium-patterned muscle contractions as a key mechanism.
