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

The paper develops a continuum theory for curved epithelial shells by coarse-graining a 3D vertex model of active gel cellular surfaces, showing its accuracy in capturing buckling dynamics and the necessity of Cosserat theory for apicobasal tension asymmetry.

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.
