Speaker: Professor Luiza Angheluta-Bauer, Condensed Matter Physics, University of Oslo

Abstract:

Collective structural arrangements and cell migration are important physical processes underlying tissue development and regeneration. Understanding the complexity of cell-cell interactions and the emergence of collective behaviors at the tissue scale presents formidable challenges both experimentally and theoretically.

In this talk, I will discuss recent theoretical work on the dynamical patterns that emerge at the tissue scale from localized rearrangements and topological defects. Using a multi-phase field model, we demonstrate that tissue fluidity stems from cell neighbor exchanges, serving as transient sources of vortical flow. This flow emerges from the relative dispersion of cells at a rate proportional to the frequency of rearrangements. Balancing collective migration with relative cell motion appears to be essential for maintaining tissue shape and fluidity. Using a cell-based model, we study the tissue's response to the presence of a vortex. While solid-like behavior tends toward conical shapes, localized fluidization triggers the transition to a tube, which is fundamental in biological tissues.

“JIZAI Body: beyond human limits” by Dr. Inami, Monnai and Maekawa, RCAST, The University of Tokyo. Hosted by Cybernetic Humanity Studio (OIST - Sony CSL collaboration)

This interactive workshop will begin with Dr. Tan framing the current state of gender equity in STEM, including progress that has been made, challenges that remain, and efforts to support women in STEM. In the second part of the workshop, C-Hub Director Dr. Kathy Takayama will guide us in using a systems thinking approach to collaboratively identify concrete pathways towards change within the local OIST environment and beyond. Workshop participants will leave this session with stronger social and professional connections with colleagues and with greater awareness of local and global challenges and priorities for improving gender equity in STEM.

OIST, in collaboration with UC Santa Barbara, is hosting a groundbreaking symposium entitled "Materials of Tomorrow: Harnessing Responsiveness, Intelligence, and Sustainability." This event will bring together leading researchers to explore cutting-edge advancements in material science. The symposium is structured into four Sessions, each delving into crucial topics such as unconventional electronic states, stable charge-separated states in organic semiconductors, energy technologies with polymers, and sustainable and responsive materials design. The discussions will underscore the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and the urgent need for sustainable solutions in materials science.
