Contractile and Mechanical Properties of Epithelia with Perturbed Actomyosin Dynamics

Mechanics has an important role during morphogenesis, both in the generation of forces driving cell shape changes and in determining the effective material properties of cells and tissues. Drosophila dorsal closure has emerged as a reference model system for investigating the interplay between tissu...
