Tricellular vertices possess sliding behaviors that harness radial forces and drive cell shape changes and intercalation in an epithelial tissue.

The changes in shape of iridophores that underlie adult colour pattern formation in zebrafish depend on the levels of Tight Junction Protein 1a in these cells.

The shoot meristem becomes domed in shape during floral transition and this is controlled by flowering pathways and the phytohormone gibberellin causing increases in cell size and number.

SNP-editing of human embryonic stem cells reveals cell type specific function of a genetic variant associated with changes in human jaw shape.

Left-right asymmetric rotation of the Drosophila hindgut is driven by "cell sliding," a novel cellular behavior induced by chiral cell deformation, in which cells change their position relative to subjacent neighbors as sliding directionally.

The nearly universal nature of scaled cell shape variability in an epithelial monolayer is unavoidable, irrespective of health or disease, as it comes from a mathematical property.

Rod-shaped bacteria preserve their aspect ratios and surface-to-volume scaling by maintaining a homeostatic balance between the rates of cell elongation and division protein synthesis.

Whole-organ live imaging and computational analysis reveal a calcium-mediated mechanical program linking gene expression to organ shape.

Quantitative analysis in quasi-3D reveals apically driven cell behaviours that are closely coordinated across the tissue to allow ordered tube invagination through a focal point.

Puzzle-shape cells in the epidermis of many plants form due to a development constraint based on mechanical forces.
