A ∼5-fold increase in tissue rigidity occurs due to sustained actomyosin contractility.
Tension transmission across the IOPC network bridges cellular and tissue scales, enhancing structural integrity.
Inducing mosaic defects in IOPC junctional tension affects retinal morphology without altering ommatidial geometry.
The study highlights the role of supracellular networks in stabilizing multi-dimensional organ structures.
