DESCRIPTION:The development of a single fertilised cell into an embryo is a
  highly dynamic process that establishes the structural and functional arc
 hitecture of the organism. The building of complex multicellular structure
 s fundamentally emerges from the spatio-temporal coordination of dynamic b
 ehaviours at the single cell level. How this multi-scale process occurs wi
 th high fidelity and robustness is still a major open question. In order t
 o establish and maintain proper tissue form and function\, single cells ne
 ed to precisely decode mechano-chemical information in their microenvironm
 ent and adaptively respond to these signals under normal and stress condit
 ions.\n\nHere I will first discuss how embryonic stem cells are able to se
 nse mechanical shape deformations and physical confinement in their 3D tis
 sue environment. I will explore the function of the cell nucleus as an int
 racellular mechano-sensor and how it can function as a non-genetic control
 ler of dynamic cell behaviour and migration plasticity. I will finally dis
 cuss how developmental robustness and error correction are established by 
 mechanical cell cooperation that facilitates phagocytic tissue clearance o
 f aberrant apoptotic cells in the earliest stages of embryo development.\n
 \nThis seminar will be given online via Zoom. Details in attached poster.
