The paper uses live imaging to show PRICKLE1 controls neural tube morphogenesis through actomyosin-driven processes independent of planar cell polarity.

This study shows that mechanical confinement triggers ferroptosis via mitochondrial dysfunction by inducing Drp1-dependent fragmentation and cPLA2 translocation.

This study shows that c-Src activation in endothelial cells causes vascular expansion through focal adhesion signaling and localized matrix degradation, which can be inhibited to prevent abnormal vascular growth.

This study shows that altering the non-linear elasticity of collagen hydrogels affects cell morphology, migration, and matrix deformation through mechanical interactions with a second polymer component.
