SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Ana López Mengual
DESCRIPTION:Factores físicos y moleculares implicados en la migración celular y en el desarrollo de la corteza cerebral.\nAna López Mengual\, Molecular and cellular neurobiotechnology group \nAbstract \nCell migration acquires special relevance during embryonic development and tissue regeneration. During the development of the adult individual\, cells multiply\, differentiate and mature\, having to move to their destination regions through migration. Once the adult individual has formed\, these tissues can suffer damage\, leading to an altered state. In this process of tissue regeneration\, they try to set tissue homeostasis\, cell migration is essential. This thesis analyses the mechanical factors involved in cell migration in brain development and neural regeneration\, as a fundamental tool to understand these processes. OECs migrate greater distances over CXCL12 functionalized PLA 80/20 nanofibers\, thus responding to the chemotactic gradient. Measurements made with by means of BIO-AFM of the mouse embryonic brain reveals differences between the pallium and the subpallium. These differences determine the differential migration rates when transplanting explants of various origins outside their usual site and analysing the migration of Cajal-Retzius cells. In addition\, Cajal-Retzius cells respond by calcium entry to the inhibition of mechanosensitive cation channels\, changing their migration rate. So\, we conclude that physical factors are a key factor involved in the migration and disposition of Cajal-Retzius cells. \n  \n\n  \n  \nThe public event will take place at the Sala de Graus at the Faculty of Biology (University of Barcelona) on January 12th at 11:30.

SUMMARY:PhD Thesis Defence: Ariadna Marín Llauradó
DESCRIPTION:Mechanical stress in curved epithelia of designed size and shape\nAriadna Marín Llauradó\, Integrative cell and tissue dynamics group \nThe function of organs such as lungs\, kidneys and mammary glands relies on the three-dimensional geometry of their epithelium. How epithelial geometry emerges from mechanical stresses remains poorly understood. To address this question systematically\, here we engineered curved epithelial monolayers of controlled size and shape and mapped their state of stress. We designed pressurized epithelia with spherical\, rectangular and ellipsoidal cross-sections. We developed a computational approach to map the stress tensor these epithelia from the measured pressure and geometry\, without assumptions of material properties.  In epithelia with spherical cross-section spanning more than one order of magnitude in radius\, we show that stress increases with areal strain in a size-independent manner. In epithelia with rectangular and ellipsoidal cross-section we found pronounced stress anisotropies consistent with asymmetric distribution tractions measured at the cell-substrate contact line. Cells tended to align with the direction of maximum principal stress\, but this alignment was non-universal and increased with monolayer anisotropy. Our study establishes how the size and shape of an epithelium depends on luminal pressure and mechanical stress. \nThis thesis defence will take place at Auditori Antoni Caparrós\, located at the Parc Científic de Barcelona\, Tower D with limited capacity\, seats will be assigned on a first come first served basis. The defence will start at 11 AM.
