The paper shows that the chick cranial neural tube expands as an active shell, with tissue thickening and stable thickness patterns during volumetric growth.

The paper shows that keratin bundling in epithelial cells under stretch allows the nucleus to escape its keratin cage, providing a mechanism for tissue adaptation to mechanical stress.

The paper develops a unified framework connecting sub-cellular actomyosin dynamics to tissue mechanics, explaining various epithelial behaviors under stretch.

This study investigates the mechanics of epithelial buckling by combining experiments and simulations, revealing multiscale wrinkling dynamics and how they can be controlled through curvature and contractility.
