Summary
Cells have ingenious machinery to receive input stimuli from mechanical forces, stiffness, and shape of the surrounding environment and convert the signal into various cellular motions. The characteristic molecular and cellular dynamics that emerged from cell collectives, each of which exhibits such complex input-output responses, is a fundamental process of living systems that underlies biological functions. I have been interested in the multicellular dynamics in biological development and reproduction. In this seminar, I will provide several topics, such as collective cell migration, tissue morphogenesis, and sperm turbulence in a mouse reproductive organ. I would like to discuss the collective phenomena in life sciences from various angles.
