The paper shows that histone serotonylation, induced by mesoderm stiffening through Tgm2 nuclear translocation, is essential for initiating collective neural crest cell migration in vivo.

This study identifies a mechanical signal, Piezo1-Yap1, that coordinates cell state transitions during regeneration by translating tissue stiffness into regenerative competence.

This study shows that increased Lamin A expression reduces nuclear deformability and impairs apical nuclear migration in zebrafish retinal neuroepithelium.
