Force transmission in embryonic-like epithelia Miquel Bosch (Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics Group) Developing an adult organism from an embryo is a complex task. Cells need to divide, differentiate and arrange themselves in complex three-dimensional structures, a process known as morphogenesis. Apical constriction is a conserved morphogenetic mechanism in the animal kingdom, but the role ... Read more

Self-assembly and self-organization are fundamental principles that govern the formation of complex structures and functions across biological systems. This workshop will explore how these processes emerge in nature, how they contribute to the organization of life, and whether similar behaviors can be replicated in engineered systems. By bringing together perspectives from biology, chemistry, and physics, ... Read more
