Dear MBI community,
MBI Theory Journal Club is thrilled to announce our upcoming meeting next week (5/5 Wed, 9:30). Asst. Prof. Chii Jou (Joe) Chan will discuss a review article on the physics of lumen formation by Torres-Sánchez et al. [https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.05263] . Please feel free to join us in this informal session. Kindly refer to the meeting details below.
Theory Journal Club Meeting
Date: 5 May 2021, Wednesday
Time: 9:30am SGT
Location: Level 9 meeting room and zoom (hybrid)
Theory Journal Club Meeting: Physics of Tissue Hydraulics
By Chii Jou (Joe) Chan, Principal Investigator, MBI
Meeting Summary:
Lumen formation plays an essential role in the morphogenesis of tissues during development. In this talk I will discuss a recent review on the physical principles underlying lumen growth and coarsening [arXiv:2104.05263]. We will discuss the role of solute pumping by the cell, hydraulic flows driven by difference of osmotic and hydrostatic pressures, force balance between extracellular fluids and cytoskeletal forces, and electro-osmotic effects.The discussion will be focused less on the theoretical derivation of the equations, and more on the underlying biophysical concepts and implications of these equations.
