Mechanical control of tissue and organ development (2010, background): “These observations suggest that the anisotropy of the micromechanical environment contributes significantly to controlling tissue pattern formation in Drosophila embryos (Rauzi et al., 2008).”
Adherens junction: molecular architecture and regulation. (2009, positive): “For example, anisotropy of cortical tension at the AJs has been shown to be sufficient to drive tissue elongation (Rauzi et al. 2008).”
Multicellular Rosettes Drive Fluid-solid Transition in Epithelial Tissues (2018, background): “For example, in Drosophila body-axis elongation, rosettes are due to planar polarized constriction [28,29,31,33,34,36], while in gastrulation and neural tube closure, actomyosin structures in the apical cell surface constrict to form rosettes [39–41].”
Physics of adherent cells (2013, background): “…other approaches are adequate, most prominently vertex models starting from the fact that cell walls are strongly contractile (Aegerter-Wilmsen et al., 2010; Aliee et al., 2012; Canela-Xandri et al., 2011; Farhadifar et al., 2007; Hufnagel et al., 2007; Landsberg et al., 2009; Rauzi et al., 2008).”
Myosin II dynamics are regulated by tension in intercalating cells (2009, result): “This may explain why rosettes were overlooked in previous studies at stage 7, when the germband has only reached one-third of its final length (Bertet et al., 2004; Rauzi et al., 2008).”
Mechanotransduction in development: a growing role for contractility (2009, background): “Differential myosin distribution generates anisotropic cortical forces that can drive junctional remodelling and intercalation during elongatio”
Cell flow reorients the axis of planar polarity in the wing epithelium of Drosophila. (2010, positive): “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;”
Mechanical tugging force regulates the size of cell–cell junctions (2010, background): “Rauzi M, Verant P, Lecuit T, Lenne PF (2008) Nature and anisotropy of cortical forces orienting Drosophila tissue morphogenesis.”
