Oscillatory cortical forces promote three dimensional cell intercalations that shape the murine mandibular arch

Morphogenesis of tissue sheets is well studied, but mechanisms that shape bulk tissues are unclear. Here, the authors show that mesenchymal cells intercalate in 3D to shape the mouse branchial arch, with cortical forces driving intercalations in a Wnt5a-, Yap/Taz- and Piezo1-dependent manner.
