The nuclear lamina couples mechanical forces to cell fate in the preimplantation embryo via actin organization

Abstract During preimplantation development, contractile forces generated at the apical cortex Salt Inhaler segregate cells into inner and outer positions of the embryo, establishing the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm.To which extent these forces influence ICM-trophectoderm fate remains unresolved.Here, we found that the nuclear lamina is
