Growth is central to plant morphogenesis. Plant cells are encased in rigid cell walls, and
they must overcome physical confinement to grow to specific sizes and shapes. Cell wall …

From embryonic development, postnatal growth and adult homeostasis to reparative and
disease states, cells and tissues undergo constant changes in genome activity, cell fate …

Epithelia act as barriers against environmental stresses. They are continuously exposed to
various mechanical stress and abrasion, which impact epithelial integrity. The impact of the …

All life forms sense and respond to mechanical stimuli. Throughout evolution, organisms
develop diverse mechanosensing and mechanotransduction pathways, leading to fast and …

Here, we review recent developments in the literature that provide insight into self-
organization at supracellular scales in vertebrate organ morphogenesis. We briefly present …

The ability of cells to organize into tissues with proper structure and function requires the
effective coordination of proliferation, migration, polarization, and differentiation across …

Collective cell migration is crucial in various physiological processes, including wound
healing, morphogenesis, and cancer metastasis. Adherens Junctions (AJs) play a pivotal …

Biological cells can actively tune their intracellular architecture according to their overall
shape. Here we explore the rheological implication of such coupling in a minimal model of a …

Cultivated meat, also known as cultured or cell-based meat, is meat produced directly from
cultured animal cells rather than from a whole animal. Cultivated meat and seafood have …

During early development of multi-cellular animals, cells self-organize to set up the body
axes, such as the primary head-to-tail axis, based on which the later body plan is defined …
