This study investigates how the apical extracellular matrix (aECM) regulates fold morphogenesis in the Drosophila wing disc, showing its role in stabilizing tissue folding and shaping the adult wing.

The paper shows active cellular behaviors drive 3D shape changes in Drosophila wing disc pouch through spontaneous strains, validated by MyoVI knockdown.

The paper investigates the role of core PCP mutations in Drosophila pupal wing morphogenesis and finds they do not affect tissue shape changes but influence fast mechanical responses.

The paper investigates how environmental factors affect the timing of Drosophila pupal wing morphogenesis, finding that a gate controls the onset of the process, which is influenced by an unknown environmental factor.

The paper shows Hedgehog signaling enhances glycolytic ATP production in Drosophila wing disc tissue, revealing a feedback loop between signaling and energy metabolism.

The paper investigates how tissue-scale patterns of cell shape and mechanical stress emerge in Drosophila wing imaginal discs through self-organized mechanosensitive feedback.

The paper quantifies how cell divisions and rearrangements drive anisotropic growth in Drosophila wing discs under 20E treatment.
