A self-organized biomechanical network drives shape changes during tissue morphogenesis

• Akankshi Munjal, Jean-Marc Philippe, Edwin M. Munro, Thomas Lecuit
• Nature
• 2015

Tissue morphogenesis is orchestrated by cell shape changes. Forces required to power these changes are generated by non-muscle myosin II (MyoII) motor proteins pulling filamentous actin (F-actin).… (More)

Actomyosin networks and tissue morphogenesis.

• Akankshi Munjal, Thomas Lecuit
• Development
• 2014

Tissue morphogenesis is driven by coordinated cellular deformations. Recent studies have shown that these changes in cell shape are powered by intracellular contractile networks comprising actin… (More)

Actomyosin pulsation and flows in an active elastomer with turnover and network remodeling

• Deb Sankar Banerjee, Akankshi Munjal, Thomas Lecuit, M. Rammohan Rao
• Nature Communications
• 2017

Tissue remodeling requires cell shape changes associated with pulsation and flow of the actomyosin cytoskeleton. Here we describe the hydrodynamics of actomyosin as a confined active elastomer with… (More)

Modular activation of Rho1 by GPCR signalling imparts polarized myosin II activation during morphogenesis

• S. R. Kerridge, Akankshi Munjal, +4 authors Thomas Lecuit
• Nature Cell Biology
• 2016

Polarized cell shape changes during tissue morphogenesis arise by controlling the subcellular distribution of myosin II. For instance, during Drosophila melanogaster gastrulation, apical constriction… (More)
