Carina Dunlop was on the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge the primary week of September (4-8 Sept) to take part within the workshop on “Lively mechanics, from single cells to cell layers, tissues and improvement” (hyperlink right here). The assembly introduced mathematicians, physicists and cell biologists collectively to have a look at methodologies for modelling energetic cell behaviors within the context of each particular person cell experimental research in addition to tissue degree investigations. Carina gave a chat on modelling energetic cell mechanics with continuum fashions, particularly trying on the position of adhesion patterning (hyperlink to summary right here, and exact title: “What do cells and tissues really feel? Integration of cell contractility, adhesion and ECM stiffness in mechanosensing“). The workshop photograph is proven beneath.
