@akanksha-jain.bsky.social @paveltomancak.bsky.social discovered tissue fluidisation near the gap and inhomogeneities of the contracting cable.
Regionalized tissue fluidization is required for epithelial gap closure during insect gastrulation - Nature Communications
The mechanics of embryonic tissue spreading over spherical eggs is not fully understood. Here, the authors show that during gastrulation in the red flour beetle, extraembryonic tissue epiboly is facil...
