Optogenetic dissection of actomyosin-dependent mechanics underlying tissue fluidity
R. Marisol Herrera-Perez, Christian Cupo, Cole Allan…·Karen E. Kasza
This study uses optogenetic tools to manipulate actomyosin contractility in Drosophila germband epithelium, revealing how Rho1 signaling affects cell rearrangements, tissue tensions, and mechanical properties during tissue flow.
