What determines how epithelial cells divide when shape cues disappear?
Our new work in @natcomms.nature.com shows that divisions follow maximal stress anisotropy — a “principal-stress rule” beyond Hertwig’s long-axis rule.
Fantastic work led by @luanger.bsky.social

Great Collaboration with Tianxiang Ma and Amin Doostmohammadi from the Niels Bohr Institute!
We further uncover a feedback in which anisotropic stress accelerates cell-cycle progression, while cytokinesis relieves stress anisotropy — linking tissue mechanics directly to proliferative homeostasis.

NeMo is finally out! 🐟
We present our new method to peel cellular layers and extract their nematics.
If you're wondering what a fish has to do with curved nematics, check out the thread and the publication 👀👇🏼
