This study identifies a mechanochemical pathway linking cell density to epithelial migration via ERK, cPLA2, and mechanically regulated signaling from adhesions to the nucleus.

The paper shows that epithelial cells exhibit superdiffusive migration in tissues due to directional memory from velocity coordination and adhesion dynamics, enhancing their range compared to isolated cells.

The paper investigates how netrin-1 glycosylation sites affect DCC clustering and mobility, showing they promote constitutive nanoclusters and reduce DCC movement.

The paper introduces MuViScopy, a multi-view confocal microscopy technique for live-imaging multiple organs and whole organisms without embedding, demonstrating its use in Drosophila pupal development.
