Hydraulic Instabilities Dictate the Volumes of Germ Cells and Balloons (IMAGE)
Caption
Left: Picture of two balloons connected through a central tube, any new air coming through the white pipe will inflate the red balloon rather than the blue one. Right: Spinning-disk confocal image of interconnected C. elegans germ cells. Cortical actin showing the cell cortex is labelled in magenta and myosin, delineating the germ cells openings through which both cells exchange cytoplasmic material, is labelled in green.
