The paper analyzes Hydra morphogenesis to show that shape fluctuations become more concentrated over time, indicating dynamical canalization linked to spatial calcium heterogeneity.

This study shows that in Hydra regeneration, polarity and morphological axis formation occur together, with the foot playing a key role typically attributed to the head organizer.

The paper studies rupture-repair cycles in regenerating Hydra tissues, finding that Ca2+-dependent repair efficiency controls the distribution of rupture magnitudes.

The paper introduces a model where stochastic fluctuations drive morphological pattern formation, showing how fluctuations determine the dynamics of a phase transition in a one-dimensional tissue.

The paper demonstrates metabolic coupling during rapid adaptation of single yeast cells by measuring metabolism and division in thousands of individual cells.
