Emergent patterns of growth controlled by multicellular form and mechanics.
Spatial patterns of cellular growth generate mechanical stresses that help to push, fold, expand, and deform tissues into their specific forms. Genetic factors are thought to specify patterns of growth and other behaviors to drive morphogenesis. Here, we show that tissue form itself can feed back to regulate patterns of proliferation. Using micro-fabrication to control the organization of sheet...
متن کاملEmergent versus Individual-Based Multicellular Chemotaxis.
Multicellular chemotaxis can occur via individually chemotaxing cells that are mechanically coupled. Alternatively, it can emerge collectively, from cells chemotaxing differently in a group than they would individually. Here we consider collective movement that emerges from cells on the exterior of the collective responding to chemotactic signals, whereas bulk cells remain uninvolved in sensing...
متن کاملControlled growth and form of precipitating microsculptures.
Controlled self-assembly of three-dimensional shapes holds great potential for fabrication of functional materials. Their practical realization requires a theoretical framework to quantify and guide the dynamic sculpting of the curved structures that often arise in accretive mineralization. Motivated by a variety of bioinspired coprecipitation patterns of carbonate and silica, we develop a geom...
متن کاملEmergent un-Quantum Mechanics
There is great interest in “emergent” dynamical systems and the possibility of quantum mechanics as emergent phenomena. We engage the topic by making a sharp distinction between models of microphysics, and the so-called quantum framework. We find the models have all the information. Given that the framework of quantum theory is mathematically self-consistent we propose it should be viewed as an...
متن کاملCellular and multicellular form and function.
Engineering artificial tissue constructs requires the appropriate spatial arrangement of cells within scaffolds. The introduction of microengineering tools to the biological community has provided a valuable set of techniques to manipulate the cellular environment, and to examine how cell structure affects cellular function. Using micropatterning techniques, investigators have found that the ge...
