Morphogenesis and Dynamics of Multicellular Systems
Conference - Heidelberg, Germany
The assembly of cells into multicellular tissues drives the formation of complex organ systems during embryogenesis. Dynamics changes in tissue organization underlie wound healing and regeneration, while a loss thereof is a hallmark of cancer. Moreover, the very real prospect of tissue engineering offered by new stem cell technology is likely to greatly increase the demand for a quantitative understanding of tissue morphogenesis.The morphogenesis and dynamics of multicellular systems meeting will focus on the most recent advances in light microscopy that are allowing cell and developmental biologists to visualize and quantify the behaviors of signaling molecules, cells, and complex tissues in living systems. Invited speakers have been selected with the aim of bridging the scale between subcellular and multicellular dynamics to understand how, for example, the cytoskeleton and the membrane transport machinery impacts on tissue mechanics. The meeting will provide an exciting forum to discuss different microscopy techniques and demonstrate how these can be applied to uncover complex processes in different model systems. This will undoubtedly allow participants to be exposed and pushed towards the latest advancements in light, super-resolution and electron microscopy.
