Excited to share a new preprint! We address a longstanding question related to stratifying tissues:

What are the physical mechanisms that drive epidermal cell delamination?

Find out why this👇 traction force pattern emerges and how it is linked to upward cell motion: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

What happens between cells with adhesion differences in crowded tissues? Mechanical cell competition!

Check the final version of our study to learn more about compression-independent cell elimination, interactions at tissue interfaces and the role of force transmission in that
