Embryo development is an extraordinary journey, shaped not solely by gene expression, but also by the profound influence of mechanical principles. This course will familiarize students with the pivotal role of mechanical cues in cell differentiation, migration, and tissue morphogenesis, providing insight into the mechanical basis of congenital anomalies. Additionally, we will explore instrumentation, methodologies, and tools employed in developmental studies. Throughout the course, students will actively engage in surveying and reviewing research literature, addressing simple biomechanical problems, proposing solutions to biomechanical challenges, and choosing specific developing tissues for in-depth discussions.
