Symposium

[S04] From Cooperative Multicellular Behavior to Tissue Morphogenesis

Thu. Jun 7, 2018 4:10 PM - 6:40 PM Room D (2F　Heian)

Chairpersons : Erina Kuranaga (Tohoku Univ.) / Tsuyoshi Hirashima (Kyoto Univ.)

Tissue morphogenesis is achieved as integration of various cellular behaviors, such as cell migration, apoptosis, and differentiation. Many recent studies have identified constituent cellular behaviors and critical genetic factors underlying the tissue morphogenesis. However, it has not been fully understood how such cellular behaviors organize functional tissue structures by integrating mechanical and chemical regulations in developing organisms.
In this symposium, we invite seven speakers who tackle this issue by various approaches, and discuss mechanisms bridging from cooperative multicellular behavior to tissue morphogenesis.
