Mechanical strain in vertebrate embryos regulates morphogenesis and cell differentiation. Manipulating this strain can alter developmental patterns, suggesting its crucial role in embryonic development.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Cell mechanics
  • Embryogenesis

Context:

  • Embryonic development involves dynamic changes in mechanical forces.
  • Cellular and tissue mechanics are integral to morphogenesis.
  • Understanding these forces is key to developmental processes.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the role of mechanical strain in vertebrate embryonic morphogenesis.
  • To review cytomechanical models of morphogenesis.
  • To propose a new concept for morphogenesis driving forces.

Summary:

  • Mechanical strain patterns change regularly during vertebrate embryonic development.
  • Altering mechanical strain artificially impacts morphogenesis and cell differentiation.
  • Cytomechanical models are reviewed, proposing hyper-restoration of strain as a driving force.
