The paper shows that extracellular stiffness regulates cell fate in the teleost heart, with elastin b conferring low stiffness to the bulbus arteriosus, driving evolutionary novelty.

This study shows that substrate elasticity affects the motility cycle and shape of chicken cardiac fibroblasts, with soft substrates causing slower retraction and more oscillatory movement.

This paper shows hoxb genes regulate mesendoderm cell ingression timing by controlling cell surface fluctuations during zebrafish gastrulation.
