Emergence of a geometric pattern of cell fates from tissue-scale mechanics in the Drosophila eye

Pattern formation of biological structures involves the arrangement of different types of cells in an ordered spatial configuration. In this study, we investigate the mechanism of patterning the Drosophila eye epithelium into a precise triangular grid of photoreceptor clusters called ommatidia. Prev...
