🚨📢 How do mechanical forces shape a developing organ? Our new @ScienceAdvances study, led by the amazing @CVagenaPantoula, reveals a Piezo1-driven hydraulic mechanism, where mechanical cues control cell volume to guide cardiac formation ❤️🐟 #DevBio 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Piezo1-mediated mechanohydraulic control of cell volume drives cardiac morphogenesis

Mechanical forces shape the developing heart by controlling cell volume through a Piezo1-driven hydraulic mechanism.

Check out our latest preprint on the cellular mechanical basis of Voronoi tessellations in epithelia! This biophysics study is inspired by disordered tessellations observed in zebrafish hearts🤓🐟🩵 @Sulaimaan_Lim #ChiuFanLeeLab arxiv.org/html/2512.13116v1#…
