This paper develops a minimally invasive optical clearing medium for live mammalian tissue imaging, enabling structural and functional imaging with minimal impact on cellular properties.

This study identifies a mechanism for epithelial stratification analogous to a phase transition, driven by foam-geometric instability and nucleation-growth processes.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which epithelial folding irreversibility is controlled through an elastoplastic transition mediated by mechanosensitive actin bracket formation.
