Two-fluid dynamics and micron-thin boundary layers shape cytoplasmic flows in early Drosophila embryos

Cytoplasmic flows are widely emerging as key functional players in development. In early embryos, flows drive the spreading of nuclei across the embryo. Here, we combine hydrodynamic modeling with quantitative imaging to develop a two-fluid model that features an active actomyosin gel and a passive...
