The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mechanical control of tissue and organ development (2010, background): “The asymmetric distribution of cytoskeletal and junctional proteins also contributes to polarized cell behavior during hexagonal packing (Blankenship et al., 2006), and actomyosindependent contractility as well as long-distance force transmission across the tissue appear to be crucial for this…”
Adherens junction: molecular architecture and regulation. (2009, neutral): “The actomyosin-dependent regulation of the AJ is also implicated in cell intercalation during early morphogenesis of Drosophila embryos (Bertet et al. 2004; Zallen and Wieschaus 2004; Blankenship et al. 2006).”
Myosin II dynamics are regulated by tension in intercalating cells (2009, background): “, 2004), and the contraction of actomyosin structures spanning multiple pairs of cells leads to the formation of rosettes (Blankenship et al., 2006).”
Cell flow reorients the axis of planar polarity in the wing epithelium of Drosophila. (2010, neutral): “This scenario, where externally generated forces have an important role in epithelial remodeling differs from other convergent-extension events where autonomous cell movements actively drive tissue shape changes (Bertet et al., 2004; Blankenship et al., 2006; Keller et al., 2008; Rauzi et al., 2008;”
