Active nematics contain topological defects that (under sufficient activity) move, create, and
annihilate in a chaotic quasi-steady state, called active turbulence. However, understanding …

Functional tissue architecture originates by self-assembly of distinct cell types, following
tissue-specific rules of cell-cell interactions. In the liver, a structural model of the lobule was …

Lumen morphogenesis results from the interplay between molecular pathways and
mechanical forces. In several organs, epithelial cells share their apical surfaces to form a …

Embryogenesis is a multiscale process during which developmental symmetry breaking
transitions give rise to complex multicellular organisms. Recent advances in high-resolution …

Can three-dimensional, microvasculature networks still ensure blood supply if individual
links fail? We address this question in the sinusoidal network, a plexus-like microvasculature …

Cell polarity and formation of bile canaliculi can be achieved in hepatocytes which are
generated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. This allows for the study of …

Successful morphogenesis on the scale of organs or organisms requires strict coordination
between the constituent cells whose action on the local scale must be orchestrated …

Shape changes are some of the most visually striking features of biological development at
all scales of living matter. With recent advances in high-resolution microscopy, it becomes …

We report a phenomenological power law for the reduction of network permeability in
statistically homogeneous spatial networks upon removal of a single edge. We characterize …
