SUMMARY:[Biophysics seminar] Jan Rozman: "Shape-tension coupling produces nematic order in an epithelium vertex model"
DESCRIPTION:We study the vertex model for epithelial tissue mechanics extended to include coupling between the cell shapes and tensions in cell-cell junctions. This coupling represents an active force which drives the system out of equilibrium and leads to the formation of nematic order interspersed with prominent\, long-lived +1 defects. The defects in the nematic ordering are coupled to the shape of the cell tiling\, affecting cell areas and coordinations. This intricate interplay between cell shape\, size\, and coordination provides a possible mechanism by which tissues could spontaneously develop long-range polarity through local mechanical forces without resorting to long-range chemical patterning.\n\n\nThe seminar will take place in the tearoom of the F1 department.
