Cochlea generates patterns by interacting with neighbours We wanted to understand how cells arrange into precise patterns as the cochlea develops its spiral shape. We found that the cochlea is divided into smaller domains, each organising independently whil...

It was an adventurous quest. Aptly supported by @earlab.bsky.social @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social and Ashoka University. A big thanks to Sukanya, @ramankaushik.bsky.social, Pallavi and Anton for their contribution. Write to us for any query/know more!

We show the Organ of Corti is composed of adhesion-molecule based compartments and the interaction between these compartments (compartment coupling) drives pattern and polarity. This seems like a fundamental design principle of developing tissues.

Using a combination of experiments and theoretical modeling we show differential junctional contractility governed by the phosphorylation state of myosin drives concomitant development of spatial organisation and planar polarity.
