Mechanical force alters morphogenetic movements and segmental gene expression patterns during Drosophila embryogenesis.

The development of an organism is accompanied by various cellular morphogenetic movements, changes in cellular as well as nuclear morphology and transcription programs. Recent evidence suggests that intra and inter-cellular connections mediated by various adhesion proteins contribute to defining nuc...
