Myosin-dependent partitioning of junctional Prickle2 toward the anterior vertex during planar polarization of Xenopus neuroectoderm

This study shows that NMII activity drives anterior movement of Pk2 toward the anterior vertex by regulating junction dynamics during Xenopus neuroectoderm planar polarization.

Using a continuum model to decipher the mechanics of embryonic tissue spreading from time-lapse image sequences: An approximate Bayesian computation approach

The paper uses approximate Bayesian computation to infer biomechanical parameters of embryonic tissue spreading from time-lapse images, showing predictive parameter trends with explant size.
