text: Early embryo geometry is one of the most invariant species-specific traits,
yet its role in ensuring developmental reproducibility and robustness remains
underexplored. Here we show that in zebrafish, the geometry of the fertilized
egg—specifically its curvature and volume—serves as a critical initial condition
triggering a cascade of events that influence development. The embryo geometry
guides patterned asymmetric cell divisions in the blastoderm, generating radial
gradients of cell volume and nucleocytoplasmic ratio. These gradients generate
mitotic phase waves, with the nucleocytoplasmic ratio determining individual cell
cycle periods independently of other cells. We demonstrate that reducing cell
autonomy reshapes these waves, emphasizing the instructive role of geometry-derived
volume patterns in setting the intrinsic period of the cell cycle oscillator.
In addition to organizing cell cycles, early embryo geometry spatially patterns
zygotic genome activation at the midblastula transition, a key step in establishing
embryonic autonomy. Disrupting the embryo shape alters the zygotic genome activation
pattern and causes ectopic germ layer specification, underscoring the developmental
significance of geometry. Together, our findings reveal a symmetry-breaking function
of early embryo geometry in coordinating cell cycle and transcriptional patterning.

text: Cell migration is a fundamental process during embryonic development. Most
studies in vivo have focused on the migration of cells using the extracellular
matrix (ECM) as their substrate for migration. In contrast, much less is known
about how cells migrate on other cells, as found in early embryos when the ECM
has not yet formed. Here, we show that lateral mesendoderm (LME) cells in the
early zebrafish gastrula use the ectoderm as their substrate for migration. We
show that the lateral ectoderm is permissive for the animal-pole-directed migration
of LME cells, while the ectoderm at the animal pole halts it. These differences
in permissiveness depend on the lateral ectoderm being more cohesive than the
animal ectoderm, a property controlled by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling
within the ectoderm. Collectively, these findings identify ectoderm tissue cohesion
as one critical factor in regulating LME migration during zebrafish gastrulation.

text: 'During embryonic development, cell behaviors need to be tightly regulated
in time and space. Yet how the temporal and spatial regulations of cell behaviors
are interconnected during embryonic development remains elusive. To address this,
we turned to zebrafish gastrulation, the process whereby dynamic cell behaviors
generate the three principal germ layers of the early embryo. Here, we show that
Hoxb cluster genes are expressed in a temporally collinear manner at the blastoderm
margin, where mesodermal and endodermal (mesendoderm) progenitor cells are specified
and ingress to form mesendoderm/hypoblast. Functional analysis shows that these
Hoxb genes regulate the timing of cell ingression: under- or overexpression of
Hoxb genes perturb the timing of mesendoderm cell ingression and, consequently,
the positioning of these cells along the forming anterior-posterior body axis
after gastrulation. Finally, we found that Hoxb genes control the timing of mesendoderm
ingression by regulating cellular bleb formation and cell surface fluctuations
in the ingressing cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that Hoxb genes interconnect
the temporal and spatial pattern of cell behaviors during zebrafish gastrulation
by controlling cell surface fluctuations.'

text: Oogenesis – the formation and development of an oocyte – is fundamental to
reproduction and embryonic development. Due to its accessibility to genetic manipulations
and the ability to culture and experimentally manipulate oocytes ex vivo, zebrafish
has emerged as a powerful vertebrate model system for studying oogenesis. In this
review, we provide a comprehensive overview of zebrafish oogenesis, from early
germ cell formation to oocyte maturation and fertilization. We discuss recent
advances in uncovering the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving this complex
process and highlight key knowledge gaps that remain to be addressed.

text: For tissues to spread, they must be deformable while maintaining their structural
integrity. How these opposing requirements are balanced within spreading tissues
is not yet well understood. Here, we show that keratin intermediate filaments
function in epithelial spreading by adapting tissue mechanical resilience to the
stresses arising in the tissue during the spreading process. By analysing the
expansion of the enveloping cell layer (EVL) over the large yolk cell in early
zebrafish embryos in vivo, we found that keratin network maturation in EVL cells
is promoted by stresses building up within the spreading tissue. Through genetic
interference and tissue rheology experiments, complemented by a vertex model with
mechanochemical feedback, we demonstrate that stress-induced keratin network maturation
in the EVL increases tissue viscosity, which is essential for preventing tissue
rupture. Interestingly, keratins are also required in the yolk cell for mechanosensitive
actomyosin network contraction and flow, the force-generating processes pulling
the EVL. These dual mechanosensitive functions of keratins enable a balance between
pulling force production in the yolk cell and the mechanical resilience of the
EVL against stresses generated by these pulling forces, thereby ensuring uniform
and robust tissue spreading.

text: Metazoan development relies on the formation and remodeling of cell-cell contacts.
Dynamic reorganization of adhesion receptors and the actomyosin cell cortex in
space and time plays a central role in cell-cell contact formation and maturation.
Nevertheless, how this process is mechanistically achieved when new contacts are
formed remains unclear. Here, by building a biomimetic assay composed of progenitor
cells adhering to supported lipid bilayers functionalized with E-cadherin ectodomains,
we show that cortical F-actin flows, driven by the depletion of myosin-2 at the
cell contact center, mediate the dynamic reorganization of adhesion receptors
and cell cortex at the contact. E-cadherin-dependent downregulation of the small
GTPase RhoA at the forming contact leads to both a depletion of myosin-2 and a
decrease of F-actin at the contact center. At the contact rim, in contrast, myosin-2
becomes enriched by the retraction of bleb-like protrusions, resulting in a cortical
tension gradient from the contact rim to its center. This tension gradient, in
turn, triggers centrifugal F-actin flows, leading to further accumulation of F-actin
at the contact rim and the progressive redistribution of E-cadherin from the contact
center to the rim. Eventually, this combination of actomyosin downregulation and
flows at the contact determines the characteristic molecular organization, with
E-cadherin and F-actin accumulating at the contact rim, where they are needed
to mechanically link the contractile cortices of the adhering cells.

text: Contraction and flow of the actin cell cortex have emerged as a common principle
by which cells reorganize their cytoplasm and take shape. However, how these cortical
flows interact with adjacent cytoplasmic components, changing their form and localization,
and how this affects cytoplasmic organization and cell shape remains unclear.
Here we show that in ascidian oocytes, the cooperative activities of cortical
actomyosin flows and deformation of the adjacent mitochondria-rich myoplasm drive
oocyte cytoplasmic reorganization and shape changes following fertilization. We
show that vegetal-directed cortical actomyosin flows, established upon oocyte
fertilization, lead to both the accumulation of cortical actin at the vegetal
pole of the zygote and compression and local buckling of the adjacent elastic
solid-like myoplasm layer due to friction forces generated at their interface.
Once cortical flows have ceased, the multiple myoplasm buckles resolve into one
larger buckle, which again drives the formation of the contraction pole—a protuberance
of the zygote’s vegetal pole where maternal mRNAs accumulate. Thus, our findings
reveal a mechanism where cortical actomyosin network flows determine cytoplasmic
reorganization and cell shape by deforming adjacent cytoplasmic components through
friction forces.

text: Embryogenesis results from the coordinated activities of different signaling
pathways controlling cell fate specification and morphogenesis. In vertebrate
gastrulation, both Nodal and BMP signaling play key roles in germ layer specification
and morphogenesis, yet their interplay to coordinate embryo patterning with morphogenesis
is still insufficiently understood. Here, we took a reductionist approach using
zebrafish embryonic explants to study the coordination of Nodal and BMP signaling
for embryo patterning and morphogenesis. We show that Nodal signaling triggers
explant elongation by inducing mesendodermal progenitors but also suppressing
BMP signaling activity at the site of mesendoderm induction. Consistent with this,
ectopic BMP signaling in the mesendoderm blocks cell alignment and oriented mesendoderm
intercalations, key processes during explant elongation. Translating these ex
vivo observations to the intact embryo showed that, similar to explants, Nodal
signaling suppresses the effect of BMP signaling on cell intercalations in the
dorsal domain, thus allowing robust embryonic axis elongation. These findings
suggest a dual function of Nodal signaling in embryonic axis elongation by both
inducing mesendoderm and suppressing BMP effects in the dorsal portion of the
mesendoderm.

text: Plant morphogenesis relies exclusively on oriented cell expansion and division.
Nonetheless, the mechanism(s) determining division plane orientation remain elusive.
Here, we studied tissue healing after laser-assisted wounding in roots of Arabidopsis
thaliana and uncovered how mechanical forces stabilize and reorient the microtubule
cytoskeleton for the orientation of cell division. We identified that root tissue
functions as an interconnected cell matrix, with a radial gradient of tissue extendibility
causing predictable tissue deformation after wounding. This deformation causes
instant redirection of expansion in the surrounding cells and reorientation of
microtubule arrays, ultimately predicting cell division orientation. Microtubules
are destabilized under low tension, whereas stretching of cells, either through
wounding or external aspiration, immediately induces their polymerization. The
higher microtubule abundance in the stretched cell parts leads to the reorientation
of microtubule arrays and, ultimately, informs cell division planes. This provides
a long-sought mechanism for flexible re-arrangement of cell divisions by mechanical
forces for tissue reconstruction and plant architecture.

text: Interstitial fluid (IF) accumulation between embryonic cells is thought to
be important for embryo patterning and morphogenesis. Here, we identify a positive
mechanical feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization and find
that it promotes embryonic axis formation during zebrafish gastrulation. We show
that anterior axial mesendoderm (prechordal plate [ppl]) cells, moving in between
the yolk cell and deep cell tissue to extend the embryonic axis, compress the
overlying deep cell layer, thereby causing IF to flow from the deep cell layer
to the boundary between the yolk cell and the deep cell layer, directly ahead
of the advancing ppl. This IF relocalization, in turn, facilitates ppl cell protrusion
formation and migration by opening up the space into which the ppl moves and,
thereby, the ability of the ppl to trigger IF relocalization by pushing against
the overlying deep cell layer. Thus, embryonic axis formation relies on a hydraulic
feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization.

text: Dynamic reorganization of the cytoplasm is key to many core cellular processes,
such as cell division, cell migration, and cell polarization. Cytoskeletal rearrangements
are thought to constitute the main drivers of cytoplasmic flows and reorganization.
In contrast, remarkably little is known about how dynamic changes in size and
shape of cell organelles affect cytoplasmic organization. Here, we show that within
the maturing zebrafish oocyte, the surface localization of exocytosis-competent
cortical granules (Cgs) upon germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) is achieved by
the combined activities of yolk granule (Yg) fusion and microtubule aster formation
and translocation. We find that Cgs are moved towards the oocyte surface through
radially outward cytoplasmic flows induced by Ygs fusing and compacting towards
the oocyte center in response to GVBD. We further show that vesicles decorated
with the small Rab GTPase Rab11, a master regulator of vesicular trafficking and
exocytosis, accumulate together with Cgs at the oocyte surface. This accumulation
is achieved by Rab11-positive vesicles being transported by acentrosomal microtubule
asters, the formation of which is induced by the release of CyclinB/Cdk1 upon
GVBD, and which display a net movement towards the oocyte surface by preferentially
binding to the oocyte actin cortex. We finally demonstrate that the decoration
of Cgs by Rab11 at the oocyte surface is needed for Cg exocytosis and subsequent
chorion elevation, a process central in egg activation. Collectively, these findings
unravel a yet unrecognized role of organelle fusion, functioning together with
cytoskeletal rearrangements, in orchestrating cytoplasmic organization during
oocyte maturation.

text: Tissue morphogenesis and patterning during development involve the segregation
of cell types. Segregation is driven by differential tissue surface tensions generated
by cell types through controlling cell-cell contact formation by regulating adhesion
and actomyosin contractility-based cellular cortical tensions. We use vertebrate
tissue cell types and zebrafish germ layer progenitors as in vitro models of 3-dimensional
heterotypic segregation and developed a quantitative analysis of their dynamics
based on 3D time-lapse microscopy. We show that general inhibition of actomyosin
contractility by the Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 delays segregation. Cell type-specific
inhibition of non-muscle myosin2 activity by overexpression of myosin assembly
inhibitor S100A4 reduces tissue surface tension, manifested in decreased compaction
during aggregation and inverted geometry observed during segregation. The same
is observed when we express a constitutively active Rho kinase isoform to ubiquitously
keep actomyosin contractility high at cell-cell and cell-medium interfaces and
thus overriding the interface-specific regulation of cortical tensions. Tissue
surface tension regulation can become an effective tool in tissue engineering.

text: Epithelial barrier function is commonly analyzed using transepithelial electrical
resistance, which measures ion flux across a monolayer, or by adding traceable
macromolecules and monitoring their passage across the monolayer. Although these
methods measure changes in global barrier function, they lack the sensitivity
needed to detect local or transient barrier breaches, and they do not reveal the
location of barrier leaks. Therefore, we previously developed a method that we
named the zinc-based ultrasensitive microscopic barrier assay (ZnUMBA), which
overcomes these limitations, allowing for detection of local tight junction leaks
with high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we present expanded applications for
ZnUMBA. ZnUMBA can be used in Xenopus embryos to measure the dynamics of barrier
restoration and actin accumulation following laser injury. ZnUMBA can also be
effectively utilized in developing zebrafish embryos as well as cultured monolayers
of Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) II epithelial cells. ZnUMBA is a powerful
and flexible method that, with minimal optimization, can be applied to multiple
systems to measure dynamic changes in barrier function with spatiotemporal precision.

text: Embryo development requires biochemical signalling to generate patterns of
cell fates and active mechanical forces to drive tissue shape changes. However,
how these processes are coordinated, and how tissue patterning is preserved despite
the cellular flows occurring during morphogenesis, remains poorly understood.
Gastrulation is a crucial embryonic stage that involves both patterning and internalization
of the mesendoderm germ layer tissue. Here we show that, in zebrafish embryos,
a gradient in Nodal signalling orchestrates pattern-preserving internalization
movements by triggering a motility-driven unjamming transition. In addition to
its role as a morphogen determining embryo patterning, graded Nodal signalling
mechanically subdivides the mesendoderm into a small fraction of highly protrusive
leader cells, able to autonomously internalize via local unjamming, and less protrusive
followers, which need to be pulled inwards by the leaders. The Nodal gradient
further enforces a code of preferential adhesion coupling leaders to their immediate
followers, resulting in a collective and ordered mode of internalization that
preserves mesendoderm patterning. Integrating this dual mechanical role of Nodal
signalling into minimal active particle simulations quantitatively predicts both
physiological and experimentally perturbed internalization movements. This provides
a quantitative framework for how a morphogen-encoded unjamming transition can
bidirectionally couple tissue mechanics with patterning during complex three-dimensional
morphogenesis.

text: Ventral tail bending, which is transient but pronounced, is found in many
chordate embryos and constitutes an interesting model of how tissue interactions
control embryo shape. Here, we identify one key upstream regulator of ventral
tail bending in embryos of the ascidian Ciona. We show that during the early tailbud
stages, ventral epidermal cells exhibit a boat-shaped morphology (boat cell) with
a narrow apical surface where phosphorylated myosin light chain (pMLC) accumulates.
We further show that interfering with the function of the BMP ligand Admp led
to pMLC localizing to the basal instead of the apical side of ventral epidermal
cells and a reduced number of boat cells. Finally, we show that cutting ventral
epidermal midline cells at their apex using an ultraviolet laser relaxed ventral
tail bending. Based on these results, we propose a previously unreported function
for Admp in localizing pMLC to the apical side of ventral epidermal cells, which
causes the tail to bend ventrally by resisting antero-posterior notochord extension
at the ventral side of the tail.

text: Although rigidity and jamming transitions have been widely studied in physics
and material science, their importance in a number of biological processes, including
embryo development, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, and disease progression,
has only begun to be recognized in the past few years. The hypothesis that biological
systems can undergo rigidity/jamming transitions is attractive, as it would allow
these systems to change their material properties rapidly and strongly. However,
whether such transitions indeed occur in biological systems, how they are being
regulated, and what their physiological relevance might be, is still being debated.
Here, we review theoretical and experimental advances from the past few years,
focusing on the regulation and role of potential tissue rigidity transitions in
different biological processes.

text: Tension of the actomyosin cell cortex plays a key role in determining cell–cell
contact growth and size. The level of cortical tension outside of the cell–cell
contact, when pulling at the contact edge, scales with the total size to which
a cell–cell contact can grow [J.-L. Maître et al., Science 338, 253–256 (2012)].
Here, we show in zebrafish primary germ-layer progenitor cells that this monotonic
relationship only applies to a narrow range of cortical tension increase and that
above a critical threshold, contact size inversely scales with cortical tension.
This switch from cortical tension increasing to decreasing progenitor cell–cell
contact size is caused by cortical tension promoting E-cadherin anchoring to the
actomyosin cytoskeleton, thereby increasing clustering and stability of E-cadherin
at the contact. After tension-mediated E-cadherin stabilization at the contact
exceeds a critical threshold level, the rate by which the contact expands in response
to pulling forces from the cortex sharply drops, leading to smaller contacts at
physiologically relevant timescales of contact formation. Thus, the activity of
cortical tension in expanding cell–cell contact size is limited by tension-stabilizing
E-cadherin–actin complexes at the contact.

abstract:

text: 'Lymph nodes (LNs) comprise two main structural elements: fibroblastic reticular
cells that form dedicated niches for immune cell interaction and capsular fibroblasts
that build a shell around the organ. Immunological challenge causes LNs to increase
more than tenfold in size within a few days. Here, we characterized the biomechanics
of LN swelling on the cellular and organ scale. We identified lymphocyte trapping
by influx and proliferation as drivers of an outward pressure force, causing fibroblastic
reticular cells of the T-zone (TRCs) and their associated conduits to stretch.
After an initial phase of relaxation, TRCs sensed the resulting strain through
cell matrix adhesions, which coordinated local growth and remodeling of the stromal
network. While the expanded TRC network readopted its typical configuration, a
massive fibrotic reaction of the organ capsule set in and countered further organ
expansion. Thus, different fibroblast populations mechanically control LN swelling
in a multitier fashion.'

text: Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) initiates regionalized transcription underlying
distinct cellular identities. ZGA is dependent upon dynamic chromatin architecture
sculpted by conserved DNA-binding proteins. However, the direct mechanistic link
between the onset of ZGA and the tissue-specific transcription remains unclear.
Here, we have addressed the involvement of chromatin organizer Satb2 in orchestrating
both processes during zebrafish embryogenesis. Integrative analysis of transcriptome,
genome-wide occupancy and chromatin accessibility reveals contrasting molecular
activities of maternally deposited and zygotically synthesized Satb2. Maternal
Satb2 prevents premature transcription of zygotic genes by influencing the interplay
between the pluripotency factors. By contrast, zygotic Satb2 activates transcription
of the same group of genes during neural crest development and organogenesis.
Thus, our comparative analysis of maternal versus zygotic function of Satb2 underscores
how these antithetical activities are temporally coordinated and functionally
implemented highlighting the evolutionary implications of the biphasic and bimodal
regulation of landmark developmental transitions by a single determinant.
