The paper introduces a method to measure osmotic pressure in living tissues and finds a balance between intracellular and interstitial pressures in zebrafish embryos.

This study shows that optimal mechanical noise and boundary tension in zebrafish embryos ensure robust somite formation and body segmentation.

The paper quantifies in vivo mechanical parameters perceived by cells during vertebrate presomitic mesoderm specification, showing cells probe supracellular stiffness and experience time-dependent stress relaxation.

This study develops a computational framework to describe embryonic tissue dynamics, revealing a tension-fluctuation-driven rigidity transition.
