DESCRIPTION:During growth and development\, tissue dynamics\, 
 such as tissue folding\, cell intercalations and o
 riented cell divisions\, are critical for shaping 
 tissues and organs. However\, less is known about 
 how tissues regulate their dynamics during tissue 
 homeostasis and repair\, to maintain their shape a
 fter development. In this talk\, we will discuss h
 ow differential growth rates can generate precise 
 folds in tissues. We will also discuss how tissues
  respond to mechanical perturbations\, such as str
 etching or wounding\, by altering their actomyosin
  contractile structures\, to change tissue dynamic
 s\, and thus preserve tissue shape and patterning.
  We combine genetics\, biophysics and computationa
 l modelling to study these processes.
