Embryonic morphogenesis requires the coordination of forces across multiple tissues and their associated extracellular matrices. A new study reports a mechanical feedback loop in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo between muscle and epidermis that may provide a model for understanding how tissues coordinate morphogenetic events in the embryo.
胚胎形态发生需要跨多个组织及其相关细胞外基质的力的协调。一项新的研究报告称,在秀丽隐杆线虫胚胎中,肌肉和表皮之间存在一个机械反馈回路,这可能为理解组织如何协调胚胎形态发生事件提供模型。
