Effects of the mechanical microenvironment on early avian morphogenesis
The objective of this work is to investigate the elastic modulus of gastrula-stage avian embryos and the effect of substrate stiffness on presumptive precardiac cell fate. Our overall hypothesis is that the mechanical microenvironment, specifically, tissue modulus and substrate stiffness, influences...
