SUMMARY:A general role of mechanical pre-patterning in tissue shape format

DESCRIPTION:Embryo tissues are active soft matter that self-organize into 
 various shapes (morphogenesis). In this view\, they may execute morphogene
 tic programmes by spatial-temporally regulating either tissue stresses (mo
 ulding a playdough)\, or tissue mechanical properties (pre-patterning an o
 rigami). Which strategy do embryonic tissues prefer? What constraints coul
 d determine how these strategies evolve? Using recent examples in our lab\
 , I hope to facilitate a discussion on these questions.
