Morphogenesis, the process by which an organism develops its shape, is orchestrated by a complex interplay of genetic, biochemical, and mechanical factors. While myosin-driven contractility has been widely acknowledged as a critical driver ...
Mechanics of force transmission in epithelia: From cell-to-cell propagation to nuclear response [0.03%]
上皮组织中的力传递机制：从细胞到细胞的传播到核响应
