This study uses optogenetics to show Hydra tissues integrate Wnt signaling over time, leading to pattern formation through cumulative transcriptional responses.

This study identifies a mechanochemical feedback loop between Wnt signaling and tissue stretching that drives axis formation in Hydra regeneration.

The paper introduces a dual-view light sheet microscope for live imaging of large multicellular systems at single-cell resolution and demonstrates its use on intestinal organoids and gastruloids.
