Adhesion-driven rigidity transition decoupled from density-driven jamming triggers epithelial organization in embryonic tissues - Nature Physics Tissue phase transitions are key to morphogenesis. Now adhesion-driven rigidification is identified as key to epithelial organization but only if uncoupled from density-driven jamming. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-026-03276-6?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nphys
