SUMMARY:Decoding The Origins of Fluidity in Multicellular Systems
DESCRIPTION:Active Matter Seminar \nSpeaker: Max Bi (Northeastern University) \nTitle: Decoding The Origins of Fluidity in Multicellular Systems \nAbstract: Organisms continually adapt to mechanical forces at the cellular and tissue levels\, a process crucial for sustaining vital life functions. In pivotal physiological processes\, such as cancer progression and embryonic development\, tissues are often poised near solid-like and fluid-like states. My talk will delve into three critical aspects of this phenomenon: (1) utilizing computational models that draw parallels with soft matter physics\, we examine shear-induced rigidity and the origins of fluidity in epithelial tissues; (2) exploring the intricate relationship between external mechanical stresses and internal cellular dynamics\, unraveling a range of rheological behaviors\, such as shear thinning and thickening\, which are key for understanding rheological responses in varying physical contexts; and (3) investigating how cellular processes like division and apoptosis influence tissue states\, with a specific focus on the emergence of hexatic phases\, an intermediate state exhibiting properties of both solids and liquids.
