Computable early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo with a phase field model

Xiangyu Kuang et al.

Summary: This study presents a phase field model using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism to simulate early morphogenesis. With this model, the authors were able to accurately reproduce the early development of the worm and uncover the roles of genetic factors and physical forces in shaping the process.

The extra-embryonic space and the local contour are crucial geometric constraints regulating cell arrangement

Sungrim Seirin-Lee et al.

Summary: In multicellular systems, cells communicate and arrange themselves based on cell division orientation, cell-cell interactions, and geometric constraints. This study developed a model to incorporate precise geometric constraints and found that the local contour and the amount of extra-embryonic space affect cell arrangement in nematode embryos.

Rigidity percolation uncovers a structural basis for embryonic tissue phase transitions

Nicoletta Petridou et al.

Summary: Embryo morphogenesis is influenced by dynamic changes in tissue material properties, which resemble phase transitions. This study demonstrates that rigidity percolation theory can predict material/structural phase transitions in embryonic tissues, with zebrafish blastoderm undergoing a genuine rigidity phase transition due to changes in cell connectivity. By quantitatively predicting and experimentally verifying the characteristics of phase transitions, the study reveals that the uniform phase transition in blastoderm cells is dependent on specific cell divisions.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of single cell stiffness in the early developing ascidian chordate embryo

Yuki Fujii et al.

Summary: Fujii et al. investigate the stiffness of cells in ascidian embryos from the fertilised egg to the stage before gastrulation. They find two types of cell stiffening, occurring during cell division and in the interphase, the latter of which is associated with the Rho kinase pathway. They conclude that the mechanical properties of early embryonic cells are regulated specifically at the single cell level.

More than just a barrier: using physical models to couple membrane shape to cell function

Felix Frey et al.

Summary: The correct execution of many cellular processes requires the cell to adopt a specific shape, which is determined by the interplay of the plasma membrane and internal cellular driving factors. By modeling membrane deformations, we can investigate the inner working principles of the cell.
