Spatiotemporal dynamics of single cell stiffness in the early developing ascidian chordate embryo

Fujii et al. investigate the stiffness of cells in ascidian embryos from the fertilised egg to the stage before gastrulation. They find two types of cell stiffening, occurring during cell division and in the interphase, the latter of which is associated with the Rho kinase pathway. They conclude tha...
