Abstract
How tissue size and shape are controlled is a fundamental biological question that remains remarkably ill understood. Using a combination of genetics, live imaging, experimental biophysics and computational modeling, we show that tissue mechanical forces can have an instrumental role in controlling tissue growth patterns and 3D tissue morphogenesis.
