The paper identifies tricellular zipping as a mechanism for epithelial junction remodeling, driven by calcium and actomyosin pulses, and shows its role in cell packing across Xenopus, mouse, and Drosophila embryos.

The paper identifies a lateral tension mechanism in murine neural tube closure distinct from contractile hinge mechanisms in other systems.

This study investigates the roles of the Fog/Cta and T48 pathways in Drosophila mesoderm invagination, finding overlapping and distinct contributions to cytoskeletal regulation.

The paper investigates how patterned cell shape changes during Drosophila embryogenesis are regulated by transcription factors and actomyosin gradients to promote tissue curvature.

The paper investigates cytoplasmic transport during Drosophila oogenesis, finding that hydraulic forces, not myosin-II contractility, primarily drive the process.

The paper shows that mitotic entry reverses apical contractility in Drosophila embryos, leading to different morphogenetic outcomes depending on the spatial context of cell division.

The paper identifies structural redundancy and directional stiffening in actomyosin networks that ensure robust tissue folding in Drosophila embryos.

The paper shows microtubules stabilize actomyosin attachments to adherens junctions during Drosophila mesoderm invagination, facilitating intercellular force transmission.
