Probing Cell Mechanics with Bead-Free Optical Tweezers in the Drosophila Embryo
Morphogenesis requires coordination between genetic patterning and mechanical forces to robustly shape the cells and tissues. Hence, a challenge to understand morphogenetic processes is to directly measure cellular forces and mechanical properties in vivo during embryogenesis. Here, we present a set...
