Active and passive contributions to cell shape change and rearrangements can be distinguished from observed cell geometry, revealing the self-organization mechanisms underlying internally-driven epithelial convergent extension.
Formation of a giant unilocular vacuole through a macropinocytosis-like process in cells with disrupted actin cytoskeleton promotes resistance to anoikis.
An encompassing resource of differentially phosphorylated proteins forms the basis for identifying missing links in cell fate determination and morphogenesis, including, for example, microtubules as mediators of different functions in cells along the dorso-ventral axis.
