2SLP Complex mechanics of the cellular system

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM Room L (Conference Room 133+134 (Bldg. 1, 3F))

Organizers: Deguchi Shinji (Osaka Univ.)、Hirata Hiroaki (Kanazawa Inst. of Tech.)

Cells are the unit of living systems, regulating diverse biological processes. It has now become clear that mechanical factors such as the stiffness of intracellular and extracellular components allow cellular systems to function properly, while the whole picture of the mechanisms is yet poorly understood. In this symposium, we focus on the roles of mechanical factors in mediating cellular and subcellular processes and discuss how “mechanics” in such highly complex systems could be probed with techniques/technologies in physics and engineering. Specifically, recent studies from both experimental and theoretical approaches will be presented regarding the embryonic and fetal development and cellular biophysical homeostasis.
