The paper shows that growth-mediated compressive stresses drive millimeter-scale gap closure in MEC1 cells, with fluid-like tissue remodeling enhancing collective closure.

This paper introduces a method to infer cell wall elasticity profiles in tip-growing cells using surface morphology and marker tracking, showing reliable results under specific mechanical conditions.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which cell proliferation generates contractile forces in epithelial tissues without growth, using live imaging and simulations.
