SUMMARY:MBIw: Patterned ECM hydraulics and anisotropic tissue stiffness drives inner ear morphogenesis by Akankshi Munjal
DESCRIPTION:MBI Weekly Seminar\nTime: 10.00am – 11.00am\nDate: Friday\, 13 November 2020\nVenue: Online seminar via ZOOM \nPatterned ECM hydraulics and anisotropic tissue stiffness drives inner ear morphogenesis\nby Akankshi Munjal\, Research Fellow\, Harvard Medical School\nHost: Prof. Timothy Saunders \nHow dogeometrically complex organs take shape from simple cell sheets in embryos? This is a central issue in biology with important implications in regenerative medicine. Many studies across species conclude that the main driving force is cell-intrinsic and generated by actomyosin contractility. The extracellular matrix (ECM) that surrounds most cells is considered to be a passive mechanical scaffold that may shape these forces through differential stiffness. I will present a case which inverts this expectation. Zebrafish semicircular canals form from invaginations in the otic epithelium (buds) that extend and fuse to form the hubs of each canal. We find that conventional actomyosin-driven behaviors are not required. Instead\, local secretion of hyaluronan\, made by the enzymesugdhandhas3\,drives canal morphogenesis. Charged hyaluronate polymers osmotically swell with water and generate isotropic extracellular pressure to deform the overlying epithelium into buds. The mechanical anisotropy needed to shape buds into tubes is conferred by a polarized distribution of cellular protrusions\, linked between cells\, that we term cytocinches.  Hyaluronate-pressure shaped by anisotropic tissue stiffness may be a widespread mechanism for powering morphological change in organogenesis and tissue engineering. \n  \nMBI SPSS Fully Webcasted\nThe access link and password will be sent to you on the day of seminar via email.  If you need help connecting\, contact MBI ITCore at mbit@nus.edu.sg.

SUMMARY:MBIw: Mechano-chemical models of collective cell migration and organoid morphogenesis by Eduoard Hannezo
DESCRIPTION:MBI Weekly Seminar\nTime: 5pm-6pm\nDate: Friday\, 27 November 2020\nVenue: Online seminar via ZOOM \nMechano-chemical models of collective cell migration and organoid morphogenesis\nBy Eduoard Hannezo\, Group Leader\, Institute of Science and Technology\, Austria \nThere is increasing evidence that both mechanical and biochemical signals play important roles in morphogenesis and collective cell migration. The development of complex organisms\, in particular\, has been proposed to rely on the feedback between mechanical and biochemical patterning events. However\, integrating the two in a theoretical framework capable of making meaningful and quantitative predictions has remained challenging. Here\, I will discuss two examples of our current efforts towards this. I will first present work on intestinal organoid morphogenesis\, where we show that crypt/villus formation is orchestrated by cellular fate\, creating patterns of mechanical and osmotic forces robustly shaping the organoid. I will then talk about how MDCK cells generate mechanochemical waves\, and use them for symmetry-breaking/optimal long-ranged polarization in wound healing. \n  \nPlease note this event is open to MBI researchers and invited guests only. \n  \nMBI Weekly Seminar Fully Webcasted\nThe access link and password will be sent to you on the day of seminar via email.  If you need help connecting\, contact MBI ITCore at mbit@nus.edu.sg.
