Applying mechanical forces on Drosophila tissues in vivo using the StretchCo, a 3D-printable device

Summary: Applying mechanical forces to tissues helps to understand morphogenesis and homeostasis. Additionally, recording the dynamics of living tissues under mechanical constraints is needed to explore tissue biomechanics. Here, we present a protocol to 3D-print a StretchCo device and use it to app...
