Deskripsi
The role of mechanical signals in early development are not fully understood. Here, the authors use the simplicity of early killifish embryos to show that tension arising from extra-embryonic epithelial expansion directs the spreading of mesenchymal-like embryonic cells during early morphogenesis.
