The paper demonstrates mechanical coupling between epithelial cells at apical-apical surfaces during implantation, mediated by extracellular matrix and tight junction molecules.

The paper evaluates an image-based method for inferring cell-cell interaction potentials in tissues with cavities and cell sheets, showing it can reproduce morphological structures.

The paper develops a method to infer mechanical forces of cell-cell interactions and shows that quantitative differences in effective pairwise potentials explain morphological differences in early embryos.

This study investigates how differential cellular stiffness, through area elasticity, influences tissue elongation in an expanding environment, supported by comparisons to mouse notochord development.

This study shows isotropic expansion of external environments can cause tissue elongation and collective cell alignment through passive cell movement.

This study examines how kuruma shrimp adjust free amino acid concentrations and gene expression in response to different salinity levels.
