Mechanical effects of cellular activities on multicellular morphogenesis. Multicellular morphogenesis can be analyzed on several scales, such as (a) the tissue and organ scale, (b) the cell population scale, and (c) the subcellular scale. Mechanical forces generated by cellular activities on the subcellular scale cause cell–cell mechanical interactions on the cell populations scale, which drive morphogenesis on the tissue and organ scale.
