Tissue mechanics drives regeneration of a mucociliated epidermis on the surface of Xenopus embryonic aggregates

The role of tissue mechanics in the regeneration of mucociliated epithelium in Xenopus is unclear. Here, the authors show that Xenopus ectoderm aggregates undergo epithelial-like phenotypic transition prior to differentiation of mucus-secreting goblet cells to enable regeneration.
