BNMC Seminar: From molecular networks to multicellular structures: predicting phenotype diversity and transitions Anand R. Asthagiri
2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Beckman Institute Auditorium (refreshments at 1:45 in the lobby) Multicellular patterns and structures emerge as cells execute instructions received from cues in their microenvironment. Deciphering how cells integrate these cues to achieve an organized, functional structure is a fundamental question in biology with important biomedical implications in areas such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. An essential element in multicellular assembly involves direct cell-cell interactions. Cell-cell contacts are not only physical links between neighboring cells, but also sources of biochemical signals that instruct cellular behavior. Our lab has been focused on elucidating how direct cell-cell interactions crosstalk with other environmental cues to affect individual cell fate choices, and thereby, generate multicellular patterns. |
