In vivo characterization of chick embryo mesoderm by optical coherence tomography assisted microindentation

Marica Marrese, Nelda Antonovaité, Ben K. A. Nelemans, Ariana Ahmadzada, Davide Iannuzzi, Theo H. Smit

This study uses OCT-assisted microindentation to measure mechanical properties of chick embryo mesoderm during somite formation, showing stiffness changes correlate with morphological features.

Micro-indentation and optical coherence tomography for the mechanical characterization of embryos: Experimental setup and measurements on fixed chicken embryos.

Marica Marrese, Nelda Antonovaité, Ben K. A. Nelemans, Theo H. Smit, Davide Iannuzzi

This paper introduces a technique combining micro-indentation and optical coherence tomography to map viscoelastic properties of chicken embryos and correlate them with tissue morphology.

Mechanical strain can increase segment number in live chick embryos

Ben K. A. Nelemans, Manuel Schmitz, Hannan Tahir, Roeland M. H. Merks, Theo H. Smit

This study shows mechanical stretching of chicken embryos can increase vertebral numbers by inducing additional somites through cellular reorganization and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transitions.
