@ghinabadih.bsky.social and Laetitia Kurzawa from CytoMorphoLab concluded that "contractile forces direct the chiral swirling of cells".

For all the twists, turns, and forces behind the swirl, you can sneak a peak at the full article, which I am thrilled to announce is now available @pnas.org: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Furthermore, with the help of a heterotypic system, we point out the more contractile cell in the duo as the choreographer of the biased swirl, setting both its rhythm and direction.

Our results show that even in such a minimalistic configuration, endothelial cells spontaneously display a robust, rightward bias that can be modulated by the magnitude of the contractile forces produced by the doublets.

During my PhD, we tried address this question by simplifying a cell collective to its bare minimum: a doublet.

Yes, the cells constituting our body do have handedness - an intriguing phenomenon that orchestrates large-scale collective motions indispensable for morphogenesis and embryonic development. But, how do cell collectives make such an important decision with much ease and (pre)determination?!
