Structural Inheritance of the Actin Cytoskeletal Organization Determines the Body Axis in Regenerating Hydra

Structural Inheritance of the Actin Cytoskeletal Organization Determines the Body Axis in Regenerating Hydra

Understanding how mechanics complement bio-signaling in defining patterns during morphogenesis is an outstanding challenge. Here, we utilize the multicellular polyp Hydra to investigate the role of the actomyosin cytoskeleton in morphogenesis. We find that the supra-cellular actin fiber organization...
