In situ quantification of osmotic pressure within living embryonic tissues

Osmotic pressure is thought to play a key role in many cellular and developmental processes, but remains challenging to measure it in cells and tissues. Here, the authors present a sensor based on double emulsion droplets that allows quantification of osmotic pressure in situ and in vivo.

The physical roles of different posterior tissues in zebrafish axis elongation

The connection between the molecular and physical control of embryonic tissues remains unclear. Here, the authors connect genetic mutations to changes in the physical state of posterior tissues during axis elongation, revealing a key role for dorsal tissues.

Mechanics of the cellular microenvironment as probed by cells in vivo during zebrafish presomitic mesoderm differentiation

During mesodermal differentiation of living zebrafish embryos, individual cells probe the stiffness associated with the foam-like architecture of the tissue as a part of their mechanosensing responses.

A nuclear jamming transition in vertebrate organogenesis

Developing zebrafish retina and brain tissues undergo a nuclear jamming transition that induces crystalline-like cellular ordering, with the emergent tissue stiffness controlled by nuclear mechanics.

Proliferation-driven mechanical compression induces signalling centre formation during mammalian organ development

Shroff and colleagues report that cell proliferation induces localized mechanical compression in the tissue, driving the formation of the main mouse tooth signalling centre via differential YAP expression.

Embryonic tissues as active foams

A computational framework draws analogy with foams to offer a comprehensive picture of how cell behaviours influence fluidization in embryonic tissues, highlighting the role of tension fluctuations in regulating tissue rigidity.

In vivo quantification of spatially varying mechanical properties in developing tissues

The mechanical properties of tissues can be measured by deforming magnetically responsive microdroplets that are implanted in the tissue. Serwane et al. apply this method to study the mechanical properties of tissues in the living zebrafish embryo.

Adherens junctions as molecular regulators of emergent tissue mechanics

Adherens junctions (AJs) are canonical mediators of cell–cell adhesion that support embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. This Review discusses how the properties and behaviours of embryonic tissues emerge from the collective molecular interactions that occur at AJs.

A fluid-to-solid jamming transition underlies vertebrate body axis elongation

Cell collectives in embryonic tissues undergo a fluid-to-solid jamming transition, similar to those that occur in soft materials such as foams, emulsions and colloidal suspensions, to physically sculpt the vertebrate body axis.
