During embryogenesis, organisms acquire their shape given boundary conditions that
impose geometrical, mechanical and biochemical constraints. A detailed integrative …

Among the defining features of the animal kingdom is the ability of cells to change shape
and move. This underlies embryonic and postembryonic development, tissue homeostasis …

As developing tissues grow in size and undergo morphogenetic changes, their material
properties may be altered. Such changes result from tension dynamics at cell contacts or …

Cell neighbor exchanges play a critical role in regulating tissue fluidity during epithelial
morphogenesis and repair. In vivo, these neighbor exchanges are often hindered by the …

Large-scale tissue deformation which is fundamental to tissue development hinges on local
cellular rearrangements, such as T1 transitions. In the realm of the multi-phase field model …

Cell intercalation is a key cell behaviour of morphogenesis and wound healing, where local
cell neighbour exchanges can cause dramatic tissue deformations such as body axis …

In amorphous solids as in tissues, neighbor exchanges can relax local stresses and allow
the material to flow. In this paper, we use an anisotropic vertex model to study T1 …

Mechanical forces generated by dynamic cellular activities play a crucial role in the
morphogenesis and growth of biological tissues. While the influence of mechanics is clear …

Organoids are in vitro cellular collectives from which, for example, brain-like, or gut-like, or
kidney-like structures emerge. To make quantitative predictions regarding the morphology …

Cell neighbor exchanges are integral to tissue rearrangements in biology, including
development and repair. Often, these processes occur via topological T1 transitions …
