This study maps cell surface tensions during human embryo compaction and identifies contractility as the key driver of the mechanical forces involved.

This study investigates how zygotic contractility awakens during mouse preimplantation development by analyzing cortical waves and cell size changes.

This study examines the effects of Myh9 and Myh10 mutations on mouse preimplantation development using multiscale imaging, revealing that contractility is not essential for certain developmental processes.
