1/4 New in Science: Gut renewal is not passive “crowd control.” Instead of being pushed out by crowding or dying from apoptosis, cells compete in a mechanical tug-of-war. Weaker cells are eliminated—reframing intestinal homeostasis as a force-regulated process. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

3/4 This reveals a safeguard mechanism: epithelial cells constantly test each other’s mechanical strength. Too little (or too much) force destabilizes the barrier, linking extrusion to diseases like tufting enteropathy. Gut renewal is an active, force-regulated process.
