IMHO, multiple cellular behaviours work synergically with both internal and external mechanical forces to shape the NT. How these biological and mechanical factors collaborate spatiotemporally still calls for more detailed investigation.

Identification of a non-canonical planar cell polarity pathway triggered by light in the developing mouse retina
Housset et al. show that basal bodies of cone photoreceptors in the mouse retina are planar polarized in a light-dependent manner by the action of transducin and G-protein-signaling modulator protein ...

Tissue fluidity promotes epithelial wound healing - Nature Physics
An observation that cells at the edge of a healing wound readily undergo intercalation leads to the finding that tissue fluidity is crucial for effective wound closure.

An expanded view of cell competition

In this Review, Ameya Khandekar & Stephanie Ellis survey cell selection processes across contexts & suggest a broader view of cell competition would benefit understanding of cell–cell interactions in heterogeneous tissues:
journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
Figure 1 Cellular heterogeneity and its possible impact on tissue-wide population distributions. (A) Each cell has a unique ‘fitness value’ that differs from the fitness value of its neighbours. The difference in fitness values between cells is depicted by the degree of difference in their colours. (B,C) In specific contexts, some fitness values may be favoured over others, resulting in population skewing.

A little contribution on the line of image analysis pipelines that I find useful (inspired by @guijacquemet.bsky.social & @biovoxxel.bsky.social )
