  bibo_abstract:
  - Tissue morphogenesis in multicellular organisms is brought about by spatiotemporal
    coordination of mechanical and chemical signals. Extensive work on how mechanical
    forces together with the well‐established morphogen signalling pathways can actively
    shape living tissues has revealed evolutionary conserved mechanochemical features
    of embryonic development. More recently, attention has been drawn to the description
    of tissue material properties and how they can influence certain morphogenetic
    processes. Interestingly, besides the role of tissue material properties in determining
    how much tissues deform in response to force application, there is increasing
    theoretical and experimental evidence, suggesting that tissue material properties
    can abruptly and drastically change in development. These changes resemble phase
    transitions, pointing at the intriguing possibility that important morphogenetic
    processes in development, such as symmetry breaking and self‐organization, might
    be mediated by tissue phase transitions. In this review, we summarize recent findings
    on the regulation and role of tissue material properties in the context of the
    developing embryo. We posit that abrupt changes of tissue rheological properties
    may have important implications in maintaining the balance between robustness
    and adaptability during embryonic development.@eng
