This study shows Piezo channels regulate epithelial topology and organ size by modulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and extrusion through calcium and Rho signaling.

This paper identifies two cell populations with distinct Ca2+ signaling dynamics and shows how hormonal signals and gap junction communication regulate organ size.

MAPPER identifies differential regulation of Drosophila wing features through automated image analysis, revealing scaling patterns and the role of Piezo in bilateral symmetry.
