Active Reorganisation in Tissues

Explore the intricacies of collective cell motion in this 29-minute conference talk by Harish Pruthviraj Jain from the Njord center at the University of Oslo, Norway. Delve into the essential processes of wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis as Jain breaks down collective motion into components that preserve and break neighborhood topology of cells. Discover how the mixing of active cells within a tissue relates to changes in neighborhood topology, and consider the potential universality of this behavior across various regimes of cell material properties and motion. Contemplate the possibility of extending these findings to all dense systems involving relative particle movement, gaining valuable insights into the complex world of tissue reorganization and cellular dynamics.
