Article Title: | Epithelial organization: May the force be with you |
Abstract: | Multicellular organization is determined by the balance of forces between cells as much as by the expression of genes. A recent study in Drosophila combines physical modeling with experimental measurements and mechanical perturbations to shed light on the processes that influence cell patterns in vivo. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
