Could not be happier to publish in @JCellBiol. Thank you to everybody who participated in that paper, specifically, @macara_ian and the @LabMacara for their support. @TheVCoM @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences
.@LFort8 et al. identify a mechanobiological gate controlling mesoderm identity in human pluripotent #StemCells. #Actomyosin contractility suppresses mesoderm induction by limiting β-catenin signaling, whereas relaxing tension permits differentiation hubs.la/Q04dxgrD0
