The paper shows that cell division in epithelia follows a mechanical principal-stress rule rather than a geometric rule, as cells divide along their principal stress axis to relieve anisotropic stress.

The paper investigates how mechanical stress affects caveolae mechanics, leading to the release of caveolin-1 scaffolds and modulation of signaling pathways like JAK1, eNOS, PTEN, and PTP1B.
