Check out new work from my group, led by Erika Kusaka @erikamkusaka and Sassan Ostvar @sassan_ostvar, uncovering how epithelial cell rearrangements play out in 3D, out this week in PRX Life @PRX_Life!
PRX Life@PRX_Life

A study of 3D cell shapes and tissue structure in fruit fly embryos shows how epithelial cells exchange neighbors over their full apical-basal span during convergent extension — revealing new insights on the structure and dynamics of remodeling epithelia. go.aps.org/49VqZ99

Delighted that the most recent paper from our group has been published in @CurrentBiology! This work was led by @XunWangPhD along with Christian Cupo, @sassan_ostvar, and @ndrewcountryman and explores how cell-cell adhesion levels impact tissue mechanics and flow @CUSEAS
Xun Wang, Ph.D.@XunWangPhD

Excited to share that my work @Kasza_Lab @CUSEAS @Columbia has just been published in @CurrentBiology!🎉Check out our paper on how cellular-level adhesive forces tune tissue-level morphogenesis and impact development here: cell.com/current-biolog… #Science #Engineering #Research

Delighted to be included in the first issue of PRX Life! This is the latest work from Marisol Herrera-Perez along with Christian Cupo, Cole Allan, and Alicia Dagle on optogenetic interrogation of tissue fluidity!
PRX Life@PRX_Life

In this #PRXLife study, the authors use optogenetics to precisely control actomyosin, a protein involved in cellular movement, clarifying its role in epithelial tissue during Drosophila embryo development. go.aps.org/3Y6f41L

Thank you @celestemnelson! I had such a fantastic visit. It was so great meeting with the folks at @EPrinceton and seeing so many old friends!
Tissue Morphodynamics Group@celestemnelson

Still smiling after yesterday's beautiful seminar presentation from the dynamic @Kasza_Lab! Grateful that she chose @EPrinceton for her first in-person visit since the pandemic started. Morphogenesis is beautiful and a fantastic problem for engineers and physicists!
