The geometry of confining boundaries is shown to control three-dimensional topological defect configurations that precede formation of the central lumen in the developing mouse embryo, a key process i...

Densely packed epithelial tissues appear mechanically arrested at tissue scale, but their cells move in subtle, coordinated ways.

Project titleNavigating the Tunnel: Keratinocyte Dynamics & Therapeutic Targeting of IL-17 in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Position summaryWe seek a motivated

Microfluidics involves the manipulation of flows at the microscale, typically requiring external power sources to generate pressure gradients. Alte...

Despite progress in probing tissue mechanics, direct long-term measurements in live embryonic epithelia are lacking. This limits our understanding of amniote embryonic morphogenesis, which takes place...

Organogenesis involves large deformations and complex shape changes that require elaborate mechanical regulation. Models of tissue biomechanics have been introduced to account for the coupling between...

The orientation of elongated cells often rotates once around the center in tissue. Such structures are called +1 topological defects and play some roles in biological development. By inducing various ...

The vision of robotic materials—cohesive collectives of robotic units that can arrange into virtually any form with any physical properties—has long intrigued both science and fiction. Yet, this visio...
