Abstract Cells operate as networks of proteins, membranes, condensates and compartments, each sensing and displaying distinct intracellular mechanical properties. However, cells also sense, adapt and respond to manifold mechanical properties of the environment, including adhesion, tension, stiffness, shear, viscoelasticity, plasticity, pressure and confinement.

Abstract Patterning of the neural tube establishes midbrain and hindbrain structures that coordinate motor movement, process sensory input and integrate cognitive functions. Cellular impairment within these structures underlies diverse neurological disorders, and in vitro organoid models promise inroads to understanding development and modeling disease.

Main text (Cell 188, 3329–3348.e1–e18; June 12, 2025) We, the authors, report several corrections to our previously published manuscript. Two additional authors, Jonas M. Nikoloff (J.M.N.) and Petra S. Dittrich (P.S.D.), were inadvertently omitted from the author list. These authors contributed to chip fabrication and on-chip culture and imaging of blood vessel organoids presented in Video S2; the author list and Author Contributions have been updated to include them.
