Time-lapse mechanical imaging of neural tube closure in live embryo using Brillouin microscopy

Abstract Neural tube closure (NTC) is a complex process of embryonic development involving molecular, cellular, and biomechanical mechanisms. While the genetic factors and biochemical signaling have been extensively investigated, the role of tissue biomechanics remains mostly unexplored due to the l...
