This study identifies local mechanical heterogeneity as the driver of epidermal cell delamination through force balance changes and actomyosin remodeling in keratinocytes.

This study shows curvature guides chiral organization and myogenic differentiation in myoblast tissues, with handedness determined by substrate curvature.

This study investigates how fibronectin matrix remodeling by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) influences their nematic dynamics, revealing aging and freezing of defect motion in the ECM.

This study identifies distinct chemotactic strategies in neutrophils and dendritic cells, showing how cytoskeletal components and environmental factors influence directed migration in complex tissues.

This paper identifies a new mode of large-scale collective motion in epithelial cells, showing they behave as polar elastic solids with scale-free correlations and Goldstone modes, distinct from fluid-like dynamics.
