  • Multicellular monolayer’s self-organization under external stimuli

    Creator:
    Li, Guanyu
    Abstract:
    Cell signaling under external stimulation is a critical mechanism that governs many biological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell apoptosis, etc. For multicellular organisms, the ability to synchronize heterogeneous individual cellular responses through intercellular communication is crucial to maintain normal functionality. However, even though the biological pathways...

  • Mechanics of three-dimensional microenvironments of cells

    Creator:
    Jones, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The structure and mechanics of tissues affect many important cellular functions such as migration, differentiation, and growth. Mechanical interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as ECM-mediated mechanical communication between cells, plays a part in coordinating collective cellular dy- namics during critical processes such as morphogenesis, tissue...

  • Information Processing in Multicellular Networks

    Creator:
    Potter, Garrett D.
    Abstract:
    The ability for individual cells and multicellular networks to process information contained in perceived stimuli is of vital importance to their proper functioning and ultimately their cellular fate. The primary mechanism employed by cells to this end is the use of biochemical signaling in which a series of molecular events...
