Mechanical control of tissue shape and morphogenetic flows during vertebrate body axis elongation
S. P. Banavar, E. K. Carn, P. Rowghanian…·O. Campas
This study theoretically examines how fluid-to-solid tissue transitions control morphogenetic flows and shape during vertebrate body axis elongation, showing that tissue surface tension and fluid-solid transitions determine unidirectional elongation.
